New submission from Senthil Kumaran <orsent...@gmail.com>:
The retry logic and code used by ProxyBasicAuthHandler and
ProxyDigestAuthHandler are same as normal authentication handlers. While this
reuse is good, there is a problem that, on authentication failure, the
HTTPError code is hardcoded to 401, whereas for Proxy cases it should have been
407.
The problematic line is this:
def http_error_auth_reqed(self, auth_header, host, req, headers):
...
raise HTTPError(req.full_url, 401, "digest auth failed",
headers, None)
can be changed by:
- Passing the errcode as arg.
- Or getting it from headers.
