Bug Description

With changes to the SocketServer module in Python 2.6 the thread created in serveOverHTTP cannot be joined, because HttpServer.stop_server doesn't do enough to get the thread out of the select call in SocketServer.BaseServer.handle_request().

According to Max Bowsher, the "proper fix would be for SocketServer to provide a documented way of breaking it out of its select loop". Has that bug been filed against Python?
