New submission from June Kim: http://bugs.python.org/issue430160 http://bugs.python.org/issue427345
These two issues refer to the same bug, which occurs when there is a POST from an Internet Explorer and the POST's content is long enough. The issue was resolved by changing the CGIHTTPServer.py to consume the remaining garbage. However, the bug potentially remains with BaseHTTPServer.py(and hence its descendants like SimpleHTTPServer, and 3rd party libraries like MoinMoin's stand alone server). People should have the knowledge of the IE POST bug and put the code for treating it everytime when they use BaseHTTPServer. Simple way to solve this is inserting the garbage consuming code in the "finish" method: while select.select([self.rfile], [],[],0)[0]: if not self.rfile.read(1): break ---------- title: BaseHTTPServer.py -> BaseHTTPServer.py and long POST from IE __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2126> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
