In https://github.com/cherrypy/cherrypy/pull/1807, I discovered that there is already a fairly straightforward means for a third-party package to override the putrequest character validation (just monkeypatch http.client._contains_disallowed_url_pchar_re with a less strict pattern; I used `[\n]`). This approach is barely worse than the proposal I made in the PR, the main differences being that a monkeypatch of that global variable is global (not selective to specific instances or subclasses of HTTPConnection) and doesn't have any tests in the CPython test suite to protect that as a supported mechanism. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38216> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
