Tony Nelson <tony_nel...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Postel's law suggests that, as bad padding can be repaired, decode_header ought to do so. The patch does that, adds a test for it, and alters another test to still properly fail on really bad encoded data.
The test doesn't check a single character encoded string, as such does not specify a complete octet and I felt that base64 decoders might reasonably differ on what to do then. The issue exists in Python2.6.1 (where I made it) and trunk. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +tony_nelson Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13589/header_B_padding.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3169> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
