[tianon]

Have you read through available documentation, open Github issues and Github Q&A Discussions?

Yes

System information

• Python 3.11

Your moosefs version and its origin (moosefs.com, packaged by distro, built from source, ...).

Built from tagged releases of source:

$ mfsmaster -v
version: 3.0.117-1 ; build: 1341

Operating system (distribution) and kernel version.

• Debian 12 (bookworm)

Describe the problem you observed.

Can you reproduce it? If so, describe how. If not, describe troubleshooting steps you took before opening the issue.

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the system logs.

Start up mfscgiserv, load a page in a browser + check the source OR curl/wget from the command line, find the following after </html>:

...
</body>
</html>
/usr/local/share/mfscgi/mfs.cgi:130: DeprecationWarning: 'cgi' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.13
  import cgi
/usr/local/share/mfscgi/mfs.cgi:131: DeprecationWarning: 'cgitb' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.13
  import cgitb

Hopefully there's a post-removal plan for the (excellent) functionality of mfscgiserv? 😇

(Maybe something with a native Prometheus endpoint, ala #290 ? 👀)
