Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: The limitations is already documented:
"""However, it’s the caller’s responsibility to ensure that the string is free of characters that aren’t allowed in XML, such as the control characters with ASCII values between 0 and 31 (except, of course, tab, newline and carriage return); failing to do this will result in an XML-RPC request that isn’t well-formed XML. If you have to pass arbitrary bytes via XML-RPC, use the bytes class or the class:Binary wrapper class described below.""" Here is a patch which forbids creating ill-formed XML. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka stage: test needed -> patch review versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 -Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file30339/xmlrpc_dump_invalid_string.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7727> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
