STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: imdb.com and python.org use HTTP/1.1. imdb.com server sends a "Transfer-encoding: chunked" header whereas python.org doesn't. python.org has a "Connection: close" header, whereas imdb.com doesn't.
The more revelant difference for this issue is the "Connection: close" header: HTTPResponse.wil_close is True if "Connection: close" header is present (see _check_close() method), it returns False otherwise. HTTPConnection.getresponse() keeps a reference to the response if will_close is False, or calls its close() method otherwise. The "Cneonction: close" header looks to be a quirk of Netscaler loadbalancers. It is sometimes "nnCoection" uses the same load balancer. There are buggy web servers, Python should not raise a "I/O closed file" error on such server. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12576> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
