title: Python - BaseHTTPServer do_GET() - wfile.write(filedata) Broken PIPE
body: <p>I need to setup a Python web server which returns a few 3MB files. It uses baseHTTPServer to handle GET requests. How do you send a 3MB file using wfile.write() ?</p>
  
  <pre><code>from SocketServer import ThreadingMixIn
  from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
  import BaseHTTPServer
  
  
  class StoreHandler(BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
      request_queue_size = 100
  
      def do_GET(self):
          try:
  
              filepath = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "tools"), "tools.zip")
              if not os.path.exists:
                  print 'Tool doesnt exist'
  
              f = open(filepath, 'rb')
              file_data = f.read()
              f.close()
  
              self.send_header("Content-type", "application/octet-stream")
              self.end_headers()
              self.wfile.write(file_data) 
              self.send_response(200)
          except Exception,e:
              print e
              self.send_response(400)
