Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: hans_moleman (hans_moleman) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: redirected cookies Initial Comment: Cookies are not resend when a redirect is requested. Blurb: I've been trying to get a response off a server using Python. The response so far differs from the response using Firefox. In Python, I have set headers and cookies the way Firefox does it. I noticed that the server accepts the POST request, and redirects the client to another address with the result on it. This happens both with Python and Firefox correctly. Cookie handling differs though: The Python client, when redirected, using the standard redirect handler, does not resend its cookies to the redirected address. Firefox does resend the cookies from the original request. When I redefine the redirect handler and code it so that it adds the cookies from the original request, the response is the same as Firefox's response. This confirms then that resending cookies is required to get the server to respond correctly. Is the default Python redirection cookie policy different from Firefox's policy? Could we improve the default redirection handler to work like Firefox? Is it a bug? I noticed an old open bug report 511786, that looks very much like this problem. It suggests it is fixed.

From the description, it's unclear if this might be a bug in the handling of redirects or in the CookieProcessor class. The bug in 511786 is still fixed; that bug includes sample code, so I could check it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1570255&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
