New submission from Alex Leon <ael...@gmail.com>: It looks like some servers using basic authentication don't include quotes around the realm (example https://api.connect2field.com) as required by rfc 2617. urllib wont handle these requests and silently fails, but a simple change to the regex in AbstractBasicAuthHandler from 'realm=(["\'])(.*?)\\2', re.I) to 'realm=(["\']?)(["\']*)\\2', re.I)
would make authentication more flexible. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 140191 nosy: Alex.Leon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Accepting Badly formed headers in urllib HTTPBasicAuth type: behavior versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12541> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
