New submission from Pierre Quentel: In the cgi module, the parse_multipart() function duplicates code from FieldStorage, and the result is not compliant with that of FieldStorage for requests sent with multipart/form-data : for non-file fields, the value associated with a key is a list of *bytes* in parse_multipart() and a list of *strings* for FieldStorage (the bytes decoded with the argument "encoding" passed to FieldStorage()).
I will propose a PR on the Github repo with a version of parse_multipart that uses FieldStorage and returns the same result (values as strings). The function will take an additional argument "encoding". ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 291117 nosy: quentel priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: cgi.parse_multipart is not consistent with FieldStorage type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29979> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
