Exceptions not handled in server thread

We are occasionally getting an ssl.SSLEOFError when using the prometheus client with HTTPS (as of the new version 0.19.0). That error is raised in the server thread and because it is not handled there, the entire process dies:

I verified that this exception is not raised within start_http_server() so it must be happening in the server thread.

The goal would be that the exception raised in the server thread causes the server thread to terminate and the main thread has some means to get to the exception raised in the server thread. The solution would need to work for both HTTP and HTTPS.

There seem to be different techniques on how that can be achieved:

• https://stackoverflow.com/q/2829329/1424462

This would probably require that the start_http_server() function returns the thread object (see issue #883)

从 start_http_server() 开始，查看 issue #883 中提议的线程返回行为。跟踪 HTTP 和 HTTPS 服务器线程如何处理异常，然后确定应如何让主线程能够看到引发的异常；完成的标准是两种协议都会终止服务器线程，而不会静默地终止进程。
