BaseHTTPServer get_request not called till first request

[Adam Tauno Williams]

Looking at <http://code.activestate.com/recipes/425210/> and
<http://code.activestate.com/recipes/499376/> as examples I've attempted
to create a BaseHTTPServer class that times-out accept() ever X seconds
to check some other work. This seems to work well, but only once the
HTTPServer object has received its first request. Up until the first
request get_request() is not invoked and not timeout occurs.

class HTTPServer(BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer):

def server_bind(self):
BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer.server_bind(self)
self.socket.settimeout(1)
self._shutdown = False

def get_request(self):
while not self._shutdown:
try:
print ' HTTP worker {0} waiting.'.format(self.pid)
self.log.debug('Waiting for connection...')
s, a = self.socket.accept()
s.settimeout(None)
return (s, a)
except socket.timeout:
/// do other work ///
return None, None

The "HTTP worker" message is not seen until the server has taken a
request, then it seems to dutifully do the timeout.

Nope, changed the name of the class (cleaned out all the *.pyc files),
and the initial wait still does not time out.
