Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John J Lee (jjlee) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: urllib2 digest auth redirection bug causes 400 error Initial Comment: urllib2 redirects HTTP digest authorisation credentials, which is never useful (because the redirection will change the digest), and may cause a 400 error if for example the handler finds credentials for an initial request, but fails to finds credentials for a redirected request. In that case a stale Authorization or Proxy-authorization header will get returned to the server, causing a 400 error. I've verified this makes the 400 go away for example in the case where http://localhost/foo gets 301 redirected to http://127.0.0.1/foo/ (i.e. with a slash on the end), where I've only added username/password for "localhost" and not "127.0.0.1". The fix is trivial. 2.4 backport candidate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1480067&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
