+:mod:`wsgi` -- WSGI server
+===========================
+
+The wsgi module provides a simple and easy way to start an event-driven
+`WSGI <http://wsgi.org/wsgi/>`_ server. This can serve as an embedded
+web server in an application, or as the basis for a more full-featured web
+server package. One such package is `Spawning <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Spawning/>`_.
+
+To launch a wsgi server, simply create a socket and call :func:`eventlet.wsgi.server` with it::
+
+ from eventlet import wsgi
+ import eventlet
+
+ def hello_world(env, start_response):
+ start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/plain')])
+ return ['Hello, World!\r\n']
+
+ wsgi.server(eventlet.listen(('', 8090)), hello_world)
+
+
+You can find a slightly more elaborate version of this code in the file
+``examples/wsgi.py``.
+
+.. automodule:: eventlet.wsgi
+ :members:
+
+.. _wsgi_ssl:
+
+SSL
+---
+
+Creating a secure server is only slightly more involved than the base example. All that's needed is to pass an SSL-wrapped socket to the :func:`~eventlet.wsgi.server` method::
+
+ wsgi.server(eventlet.wrap_ssl(eventlet.listen(('', 8090)),
+ certfile='cert.crt',
+ keyfile='private.key',
+ server_side=True),
+ hello_world)
+
+Applications can detect whether they are inside a secure server by the value of the ``env['wsgi.url_scheme']`` environment variable.
+
+
+Non-Standard Extension to Support Post Hooks
+--------------------------------------------
+Eventlet's WSGI server supports a non-standard extension to the WSGI
+specification where :samp:`env['eventlet.posthooks']` contains an array of
+`post hooks` that will be called after fully sending a response. Each post hook
+is a tuple of :samp:`(func, args, kwargs)` and the `func` will be called with
+the WSGI environment dictionary, followed by the `args` and then the `kwargs`
+in the post hook.
+
+For example::
+
+ from eventlet import wsgi
+ import eventlet
+
+ def hook(env, arg1, arg2, kwarg3=None, kwarg4=None):
+ print('Hook called: %s %s %s %s %s' % (env, arg1, arg2, kwarg3, kwarg4))
+
+ def hello_world(env, start_response):
+ env['eventlet.posthooks'].append(
+ (hook, ('arg1', 'arg2'), {'kwarg3': 3, 'kwarg4': 4}))
+ start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/plain')])
+ return ['Hello, World!\r\n']
+
+ wsgi.server(eventlet.listen(('', 8090)), hello_world)
+
+The above code will print the WSGI environment and the other passed function
+arguments for every request processed.
+
+Post hooks are useful when code needs to be executed after a response has been
+fully sent to the client (or when the client disconnects early). One example is
+for more accurate logging of bandwidth used, as client disconnects use less
+bandwidth than the actual Content-Length.
+
+
+"100 Continue" Response Headers
+-------------------------------
+
+Eventlet's WSGI server supports sending (optional) headers with HTTP "100 Continue"
+provisional responses. This is useful in such cases where a WSGI server expects
+to complete a PUT request as a single HTTP request/response pair, and also wants to
+communicate back to client as part of the same HTTP transaction. An example is
+where the HTTP server wants to pass hints back to the client about characteristics
+of data payload it can accept. As an example, an HTTP server may pass a hint in a
+header the accompanying "100 Continue" response to the client indicating it can or
+cannot accept encrypted data payloads, and thus client can make the encrypted vs
+unencrypted decision before starting to send the data).
+
+This works well for WSGI servers as the WSGI specification mandates HTTP
+expect/continue mechanism (PEP333).
+
+To define the "100 Continue" response headers, one may call
+:func:`set_hundred_continue_response_header` on :samp:`env['wsgi.input']`
+as shown in the following example::
+
+ from eventlet import wsgi
+ import eventlet
+
+ def wsgi_app(env, start_response):
+ # Define "100 Continue" response headers
+ env['wsgi.input'].set_hundred_continue_response_headers(
+ [('Hundred-Continue-Header-1', 'H1'),
+ ('Hundred-Continue-Header-k', 'Hk')])
+ # The following read() causes "100 Continue" response to
+ # the client. Headers 'Hundred-Continue-Header-1' and
+ # 'Hundred-Continue-Header-K' are sent with the response
+ # following the "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue\r\n" status line
+ text = env['wsgi.input'].read()
+ start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Length', str(len(text)))])
+ return [text]
+
+You can find a more elaborate example in the file:
+``tests/wsgi_test.py``, :func:`test_024a_expect_100_continue_with_headers`.
+
+
+Per HTTP RFC 7231 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.2) a client is
+required to be able to process one or more 100 continue responses. A sample
+use case might be a user protocol where the server may want to use a 100-continue
+response to indicate to a client that it is working on a request and the
+client should not timeout.
+
+To support multiple 100-continue responses, evenlet wsgi module exports
+the API :func:`send_hundred_continue_response`.
+
+Sample use cases for chunked and non-chunked HTTP scenarios are included
+in the wsgi test case ``tests/wsgi_test.py``,
+:func:`test_024b_expect_100_continue_with_headers_multiple_chunked` and
+:func:`test_024c_expect_100_continue_with_headers_multiple_nonchunked`.
