Issue1237

The following example asyncore http client provided in the Python
Library Reference of Python2.5.4 documentation works in Python 2.5 but
not in Jython. Python 2.5 returns the text of the html page. Jython 2.5
returns nothing.

import asyncore, socket

class http_client(asyncore.dispatcher):

    def __init__(self, host, path):
        asyncore.dispatcher.__init__(self)
        self.create_socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.connect( (host, 80) )
        self.buffer = 'GET %s HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n' % path

    def handle_connect(self):
        pass

    def handle_close(self):
        self.close()

    def handle_read(self):
        print self.recv(8192)

    def writable(self):
        return (len(self.buffer) > 0)

    def handle_write(self):
        sent = self.send(self.buffer)
        self.buffer = self.buffer[sent:]

c = http_client('www.python.org', '/')

asyncore.loop()

Indeed, the existing asyncore was completely broken, and could not
correctly run this very straightforward usage example; thanks for taking
the time to submit it.

I have checked in a new version of asyncore, ported from cpython 2.5 to
jython 2.5, at r6012 and r6013.

Although this may not have eliminated all of the outstanding asyncore
bugs, the jython 2.5 asyncore now runs this example identically to cpython.

Until there is a new release of jython 2.5, you can get the latest
asyncore from SVN.
