Jeremy Hylton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: This patch makes sense in principle, but some of the details need to change. The _send_output() method is used by some clients, merely because it can be used :-(. It's fairly easy to preserve this API for backwards compatibility.
I am also worried about this new api call getheaderdata(). It complicates the API. Even if it were necessary, it needs a better name, because getheaderdata() doesn't sound like a method that changes the connection state or consumes buffered header data. I think it would be better to have the new behavior exposed only through HTTPConnection and not HTTP, since that's a Python 1.5.2 compatibility API(!). We can make some small changes to xmlrpclib to use the newer API. It would probably be a good change merely because py3k now uses the newer API. I've got a working local change, but it's still a little ugly. ---------- assignee: -> jhylton nosy: +jhylton status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4336> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
