Public bug reported:
[impact]
python-twisted errors out with "'NoneType' object has no attribute
'encode' in requestReceived()" when it tries to parse a multipart mime
message and python3.7+ is used. This happens because before commit
cc3fa20 in cpython, cgi.parse_multipart ignored parts without a name
defined in "content-disposition" (or parts without headers for that
matter) but after 3.7+ the return of the function can now contain
NoneType keys, which fail to encode.
[scope]
This bug affects all releases
Fixed upstream with commit 310496249, available since 21.2.0rc1
[test case]
1. Save the following code as webserver.py
from twisted.application.internet import TCPServer
from twisted.application.service import Application
from twisted.web.resource import Resource
from twisted.web.server import Site
class Foo(Resource):
def render_POST(self, request):
newdata = request.content.getvalue()
print(newdata)
return ''
root = Resource()
root.putChild("foo", Foo())
application = Application("cgi.parse_multipart test")
TCPServer(8080, Site(root)).setServiceParent(application)
2. Save the following code as client.py (python3-httplib2 is required)
#!/usr/bin/env python
import httplib2
def http_request(url, method, body=None, headers=None, insecure=False):
"""Issue an http request."""
http = httplib2.Http(disable_ssl_certificate_validation=insecure)
if isinstance(url, bytes):
url = url.decode("ascii")
return http.request(url, method, body=body, headers=headers)
url = "http://localhost:8080";
method = "POST"
headers = {'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data;
boundary="8825899812428059282"'}
emptyh = '--8825899812428059282\n\n--8825899812428059282--'
print("== BODY: " + emptyh + "\n")
response, content = http_request(url, method, emptyh, headers)
3. Run the server with "twistd3 -y webserver.py"
4. Run the client
5. twistd will fail to encode the key and will drop this traceback in the log
file (twistd.log)

[regression potential]
This affects the returned dictionaries with non-str keys, which were
discarded in python3.6 or earlier before they reached twisted, so
patching this will make its behavior consistent.
