David Fischer <djfis...@gmail.com> added the comment: With this patch, the AbstractBasicAuthHandler (and its subclasses) performs a regex search on the amalgamated "www-authenticate" header for basic authentication.
This fixes the case where you have an HTTP response of the form: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required Server: HTTPd/1.0 WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Secure Area" WWW-Authenticate: SomethingElse realm="Alternative" ... In the above case, AbstractBasicAuthHandler will attempt basic auth against the "Secure Area" realm. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23619/urllib2_basicauth.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13323> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
