|
|
54 |

|
|
259
by mattgiuca
setup.py: Added a new config variable "public_host", which lets the admin set |
55 |
publicmode (read)
|
56 |
Bool. True if the request came for the "public host" as
|
|
57 |
configured in conf.py. Note that public mode requests do not
|
|
58 |
have an app (app is set to None).
|
|
93
by mattgiuca
New directory hierarchy. |
59 |
|
60 |
status (write)
|
|
61 |

|
|
62 |
in class Request.
|
|
63 |
content_type (write)
|
|
64 |
String. The Content-Type (mime type) header value.
|
|
65 |
location (write)
|
|
66 |

|
|
67 |
responses.
|
|
68 |
title (write)

|
|
70 |
the HTML title element text.
|
|
169
by mattgiuca
Added global common css file (media/common/ivle.css). |
71 |
styles (write)
|
72 |
List of strings. Write a list of URLs to CSS files here, and they
|
|
73 |
will be incorporated as <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
|
|
74 |
elements in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.
|
|
75 |
URLs should be relative to the IVLE root; they will be fixed up
|
|
76 |
to be site-relative.
|
|
77 |
scripts (write)
|
|
78 |
List of strings. Write a list of URLs to JS files here, and they
|
|
79 |
will be incorporated as <script type="text/javascript"> elements
|
|
80 |
in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.

81 |
URLs should be relative to the IVLE root; they will be fixed up
|

82 |
to be site-relative.
|
|
93
by mattgiuca
New directory hierarchy. |
83 |
write_html_head_foot (write)
|
84 |
Boolean. If True, dispatch assumes that this is an XHTML page, and
|
|
85 |
will immediately write a full HTML head, open the body element,
|
|
86 |
and write heading contents to the page, before any bytes are
|
|
87 |
written. It will then write footer contents and close the body and
|
|
88 |
html elements at the end of execution.
|
|
89 |
||
90 |
This value should be set to true by all applications for all HTML
|
|
91 |
output (unless there is a good reason, eg. exec). The
|
|
92 |
applications should therefore output HTML content assuming that
|
|
93 |
it will be written inside the body tag. Do not write opening or
|
|
94 |
closing <html> or <body> tags.
