Droopy is slow due to a DNS lookup bug in python's module BaseHTTPServer

[asmwarrior]

For a 1M size file, it takes about many seconds(about 20 seconds) to upload. A larger file is also much longer, so my question is: is it possible to make it a bit faster? Thanks.

BTW: I'm using it under a 100M speed intranet.

OK, problem solved, this is due to a bug under python's BaseHTTPServer class. It just use a name lookup for the client address, and the lookup takes a lot of time. I found this in this page: Slow Python HTTP server on localhost - Stack Overflow, also see the related page in XMLRPC Server Slow in Python – How to Fix - Answer My Searches. For a LAN user, we don't need such DNS lookup.

For me, I just add some code like this in droopy's source code(put the below text before the line "import cgi" in the droopy's source code, which is around line 78)

# 2016-08-16 It looks like we find the slow reason
# see here: Slow Python HTTP server on localhost - Stack Overflow - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2617615/slow-python-http-server-on-localhost
# also see the related page in one answer:

# since we are using BaseHTTPServer, then we can use the fix in the above link

#new code
# import BaseHTTPServer # this is already imported, so just use the imported name httpserver
def not_insane_address_string(self):
    host, port = self.client_address[:2]
    return '%s (no getfqdn)' % host #used to call: socket.getfqdn(host)
httpserver.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.address_string = \
    not_insane_address_string
#end new code

I think droopy should have a fix for this issue. Thanks.
