Nick Coghlan added the comment: Updated the issue title to reflect the current state of the proposal - adding a new Handler class for use when you want to send the auth details unconditionally, rather than requiring that the server send a 401 response before resubmitting the request with authentication attached.
The use of a separate class addresses the concerns around sending credentials unconditionally, and the restriction to 3.5+ matches the general conclusion that it's a new feature. I'll commit this shortly (just making sure my local build environment is properly configured after upgrading to the F21 beta release). ---------- stage: patch review -> commit review title: urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler (or urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler) doesn't work with GitHub API v3 and similar -> Add urllib2.HTTPBasicPriorAuthHandler for use with APIs that don't return 401 errors _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19494> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
