New submission from Wolfgang Schnerring <wosc+pyt...@wosc.de>: This is a similar issue to http://bugs.python.org/issue7093, but more insiduous:
This works: xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(u'http://localhost:8080').foo(dict(baz=u'bär')) While this fails with a UnicodeDecodeError (note the trailing slash in the URI): xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(u'http://localhost:8080/').foo(dict(baz=u'bär')) File "/usr/local/python2.7/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 937, in endheaders self._send_output(message_body) File "/usr/local/python2.7/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 795, in _send_output msg += message_body UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 139: ordinal not in range(128) So, somewhere in xmlrpclib, confusion happens, since even though the URI is passed in as unicode both times, it is stored as string in the first case (thus compatible with the serialized, utf-8 encoded string of the message body), but in the second case it remains unicode (thus failing, as #7093 tells, which I personally wouldn't have closed wontfix). ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 143680 nosy: wosc priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: xmlrpclib confuses unicode and string type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12931> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
