karl added the comment: R. David Murray,
You are right it is not specific to the client library. HTTP headers are part of the message (Request/Response) with both the same constraints. Constraints are put on receivers (receiving a message) and senders (sending a message) of the message (which is not specifically related to client or server). Maybe the way forward in the future is to have a header factory shared by all HTTP libs? I noticed that http.client and http.server had similar issues: in http.server send_header in http.client putheader Which are similar features aka constructing headers for sending with the message. And what would be the elegant way to solve this current bug? Ah… before I forget… The WG is having a meeting in 2 weeks. To make a summary of the HTTPBIS work. See the agenda. http://tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/agenda?item=agenda-86-httpbis.html The current documents are in Last Call with no issues unresolved. http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/report/20 So if R. David is worried that it will change, we can wait a bit more before taking actions, if we are going the way of removing leading/trailing spaces. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17322> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
