- Add requires_fork and requires_subprocess to more tests
- Skip extension import tests if dlopen is not available
- Don't assume that _testcapi is a shared extension
- Skip a lot of socket tests that don't work on Emscripten
- Skip mmap tests, mmap emulation is incomplete
- venv does not work yet
- Cannot get libc from executable
The "entire" test suite is now passing on Emscripten with EMSDK from git head (91 suites are skipped).
Fix a bug in urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password() and
urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.is_authenticated() which
allowed to bypass authorization. For example, access to URI "example.org/foobar"
was allowed if the user was authorized for URI "example.org/foo".
The AbstractBasicAuthHandler class of the urllib.request module uses
an inefficient regular expression which can be exploited by an
attacker to cause a denial of service. Fix the regex to prevent the
catastrophic backtracking. Vulnerability reported by Ben Caller
and Matt Schwager.
AbstractBasicAuthHandler of urllib.request now parses all
WWW-Authenticate HTTP headers and accepts multiple challenges per
header: use the realm of the first Basic challenge.

urllib.request tests now call urlcleanup() to remove temporary files
created by urlretrieve() tests and to clear the _opener global
variable set by urlopen() and functions calling indirectly urlopen().
regrtest now checks if urllib.request._url_tempfiles and
urllib.request._opener are changed by tests.
The previous attempt to determine the file’s Content-Length gave a false
positive for pipes on Windows.
Also, drop the special case for sending zero-length iterable bodies.
When the body object is a file, its size is no longer determined with
fstat(), since that can report the wrong result (e.g. reading from a pipe).
Instead, determine the size using seek(), or fall back to chunked encoding
for unseekable files.
Also, change the logic for detecting text files to check for TextIOBase
inheritance, rather than inspecting the “mode” attribute, which may not
exist (e.g. BytesIO and StringIO). The Content-Length for text files is no
longer determined ahead of time, because the original logic could have been
wrong depending on the codec and newline translation settings.
Patch by Demian Brecht and Rolf Krahl, with a few tweaks by me.
Some servers send Location header fields with non-ASCII bytes, but "http.
client" requires the request target to be ASCII-encodable, otherwise a
UnicodeEncodeError is raised. Based on patch by Christian Heimes.
Python 2 does not suffer any problem because it allows non-ASCII bytes in the
HTTP request target.
This fix is a superset of the functionality introduced by the issue #19494
enhancement, and supersedes that fix. Instead of a new handler, we have a new
password manager that tracks whether we should send the auth for a given uri.
This allows us to say "always send", satisfying #19494, or track that we've
succeeded in auth and send the creds right away on every *subsequent* request.
The support for using the password manager is added to AbstractBasicAuth,
which means the proxy handler also now can handle prior auth if passed
the new password manager.
Patch by Akshit Khurana, docs mostly by me.
This auth handler adds the Authorization header to the first
HTTP request rather than waiting for a HTTP 401 Unauthorized
response from the server as the default HTTPBasicAuthHandler
does.
This allows working with websites like https://api.github.com which do
not follow the strict interpretation of RFC, but more the dicta in the
end of section 2 of RFC 2617:
> A client MAY preemptively send the corresponding Authorization
> header with requests for resources in that space without receipt
> of another challenge from the server. Similarly, when a client
> sends a request to a proxy, it may reuse a userid and password in
> the Proxy-Authorization header field without receiving another
> challenge from the proxy server. See section 4 for security
> considerations associated with Basic authentication.
Patch by Matej Cepl.
Discovery and patch by Wenzhu Man. University of Waterloo apparently
maps the local name 'test' to localhost, which is in the bypass list,
causing the test to fail. So change 'test' to a name unlikely to get
mapped to localhost.
