Jeremy reported that this is not allowed by RFC 2396; however,
other tools support unescaped @'s so we should also.
Apply SF patch 596581 closing bug 581529.
I really can't test this, but from reading the discussion in that bug
report, it's likely that this works. It may also close a whole bunch
of other bug reports related to urllib and proxies on Windows, but who
knows.
open_http():
In urllib.py library module, URLopener.open_https()
returns a class instance of addinfourl() with its
self.url property missing the protocol.
Instead of "https://www.someurl.com", it becomes
"://www.someurl.com".
Modify rfc822.formatdate() to always generate English names,
regardless of locale. This is required by RFC 1123.
In open_local_file() of urllib and urllib2, use new formatdate() from
rfc822.
For local files urllib.py doesn't return the MIME
headers that the documentation says it does:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-
urllib.html#l2h-2187 states that "When the method is
local-file, returned headers will include a Date
representing the file's last-modified time, a Content-
Length giving file size, and a Content-Type containing
a guess at the file's type"
But in Python 2.1 the only header that gets returned
is the Content-Type:
>>> import urllib
>>> f = urllib.urlopen("gurk.txt")
>>> f.info().headers
['Content-Type: text/plain\n']
Even though relative redirects are illegal, they are common
urllib treated every relative redirect as though it was to http,
even if the original was https://
As long as we're compensating for server bugs, might as well do
it properly.
number of entries into http_error_302 exceeds the value set for the maxtries
attribute (which defaults to 10), the recursion is exited by calling
the http_error_500 method (or if that is not defined, http_error_default).
when quoting forbidden characters. There are scripts out there that
break with lower case, therefore I guess %%%X should be used."
I agree, so am fixing this.
obsolete!).
Fix a bug in ftpwrapper.retrfile() where somehow ftplib.error_perm was
assumed to be a string. (The fix applies str().)
Also break some long lines and change the output from test() slightly.
invalid proxy setting.
Minor change to call of unknown_url; always pass data argument
explicitly since data defaults to None.
PEP 42: Add as a feature that urllib handle proxy setting that contain
only the host and port of the proxy.
The earlier code assumed "protocol=host;protocol=host;..." or "host",
but Windows may also use "protocol=host" (just one entry), as well as
"protocol://host". This code needs some more work, so I'll leave the
bug open for now.
