Subject: Now that StreamRequestHandler defaults rfile to buffered, make it
X-Git-Tag: v2.0b1~99
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6aefd91c7f4f446dc6ea95ea00c62fc847ce886a;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Now that StreamRequestHandler defaults rfile to buffered, make it
unbuffered (by setting the class variable rbufsize to 0), because we
(may) need to pass the file descriptor to the subprocess running the
CGI script positioned after the headers.
