Tal Einat <talei...@gmail.com> added the comment: The patch seems broken to me.
In cgi.parse_multipart(), the 'boundary' variable can be a string even though it is concatenated to bytes. Its default value is a string, and a string can be given via the pdict argument. There is no validity check other than valid_boundary(), which allows both string and bytes. Most of the changes to test_cgi.py are entirely unrelated. The one test added which tests cgi.parse_multipart() should fail since it uses a string (not bytes) boundary, while the correct boundary for the test is commented out. I short this patch seems half-baked. IMO reject this patch and fix just the bytes/strings issue with cgi.parse_multipart. Or, as mentioned in the comments, use FieldStorage to implement it and be done with it. ---------- nosy: +taleinat _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12411> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
