[issue5111] httplib: wrong Host header when connecting to IPv6 loopback
New submission from Guillaume Desmottes :
To reproduce:
- Launch a HTTP server listening on an Inet6 socket on, say, port
- Try to connect using the IPv6 loopback:
http = httplib.HTTPConnection('[::1]:')
http.request('GET', '/foo')
r = http.getresponse()
print r.status
- You get 400 (bad-request) instead of 404
It seems that's because the HTTP request is wrong. Python sends this header:
Host: ::1:
but it should be:
Host: [::1]:
I'm using python 2.5.2-1ubuntu1 on Intrepid.

[issue5111] httplib: wrong Host header when connecting to IPv6 litteral URL
Guillaume Desmottes added the comment:
Actually, this bug is present when you try to connect to any URL
containing an IP6 and a port.
So, we have the same problem when using, for example:
http = httplib.HTTPConnection('[2a01:8790:16d:0:218:de87:164:8745]:')
but
http = httplib.HTTPConnection('[2001:4860:0:1001::68]:80')
does work. Probably because we use the default HTTP port.
