New submission from Joachim Bauch <m...@joachim-bauch.de>: If a XML-RPC server returns an error page without a content-length header (for example with "transfer-encoding: chunked" instead), the method "single_request" in xmlrpclib doesn't read the response before raising a ProtocolError. If this happens and the http connection is reused, the response is in a broken state and the next request will trigger a ResponseNotReady exception in httplib.
Possible solutions would be to explicitly close the response before raising the ProtocolError or read the response for chunked encoding. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 156828 nosy: fancycode priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: xmlrpclib leaves connection in broken state if server returns error without content-length type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14414> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
