Martin Panter added the comment: Consuming and ignoring 1xx responses seems reasonable for general cases. Treating 101 (Switching Protocols) as a special case also seems reasonable.
I also agree it would be good to provide an API to return these responses (at least after the request is completely sent). Perhaps a new flag, c.getresponse(informational=True), or a new method, c.get_informational_response(timeout=...). The timeout is for servers that do not support “Expect: 100-continue” mode; see Issue 1346874. There is also Issue 25919 discussing how to handle responses (including 1xx) while concurrently sending the request. That is a harder problem, but may be solvable with a few new APIs. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28570> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
