According to the DNS standard, hostnames with more than 63 characters per label (the sections between .) are not allowed [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035#section-2.3.1]. That said, enforcing that at the codec level might be the wrong choice. I threw together a quick patch moving the limits up to 250, and nothing blew up. It's unclear what the general usefulness of such a change would be, since DNS servers probably couldn't handle those requests anyway. As for the original issue, if anybody is still doing something like that, could they provide a full example URL? I was unable to reproduce on HTTP (failed in a different place), or FTP. ---------- nosy: +joseph.hackman _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32958> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
