Description Ángel Guzmán Maeso (shakaran) 2012-09-18 05:04:34 UTC 
Executing this source code file in python2.7 crash.

from gi.repository import Soup

class HTTPServer(Soup.Server):
    def __init__(self, address='127.0.0.1', port=8082):
        interface = Soup.Address.new(address, port)
        Soup.Server.__init__(self, port = port,  interface = interface)

HTTPServer()

I just play a bit with Soup.Server trying to bind a custom address (localhost) as interface.

The interface property http://developer.gnome.org/libsoup/stable/SoupServer.html#SoupServer--interface seems to be readable/writable.
Comment 1 Dan Winship 2012-09-18 14:08:42 UTC 
you need to do

  interface.resolve_sync(None)

before passing it to Soup.Server.__init__()

This isn't technically a bug, but there's no good reason for it to force you to do that, so I'll fix this at some point. (We're in hard code freeze right now though.)
Comment 2 Ángel Guzmán Maeso (shakaran) 2012-09-18 14:17:00 UTC 
Thanks Dan,

Doing interface.resolve_sync(None) avoid the crash perfectly. Good to know that you can fixed in the future. I will wait for the fix when the hard code freeze ends.

Regards

SoupServer:interface is now deprecated in git master; there is a new API that involves creating the server first and then making calls to the soup_server_listen*() family of functions to set up the listeners.
