[Zope] Redirecting to an "under construction" page

Tue Dec 9 12:47:58 EST 2003

There's another, simpler approach.  Write a simple server and use it
rather than Zope.  YMMV depending upon your site configuration.

Something like this should do the job... 

#!/usr/bin/env python2

import SimpleHTTPServer
import SocketServer
import StringIO

message = '''<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Announcement</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<center>
<table width=300><tr><td>
<tr><td>
<center><h1>Under Construction</h1></center><p>
<h2>Please accept our appologies for any 
inconvenience.</h2> </p>
</td></tr>
</table>
</center>
</BODY>
</HTML>
'''

PORT = 80

class MyHTTPRequestHandler( SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):

    def do_GET(self):
        """Serve a GET request."""
        f = StringIO.StringIO(message)
        if f:
            self.copyfile(f, self.wfile)
            f.close()

Handler = MyHTTPRequestHandler

httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler )

print 'serving at port ', PORT
httpd.serve_forever()
