In Quixote 2, server/simple_server.py is very similar to CGIHTTPServer,
in that it is a subclass of BaseHTTPServer and serves CGI.
It fixes this response problem and provides a more complete CGI
CGI environment, so you should check it out.

Because we are python programmers, we have some options besides
subclassing.
These options  feel a little like cheating, since they are not
available in most other languages.
If there is a method on a class that you want to replace, you can just
use assignment
to replace it.  This could get the job done for HTTPRequest,
HTTPResponse, or,
for that matter, for CGIHTTPServer.

Agreed. That's why simple_server inherits from BaseHTTPServer instead of
CGIHTTPSEver.
