New submission from Eric Naeseth: The www.python.org website was just redesigned, and apparently is running on some new infrastructure which always responds to `GET /` requests with a body using `Content-Encoding: gzip`.
Python's test suite includes some tests which fetch http://www.python.org/, and some of the tests in `test.test_urllibnet.urlretrieveNetworkTests` are now failing, because they expect the server to return un-gzip'd UTF-8 text. :( The full test output (from Python 3.3.4) is attached. ---------- components: Tests files: python-3.3.4-urllibnet-failure.txt messages: 211679 nosy: ericnaeseth priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: test_urllibnet.urlretrieveNetworkTests fails due to new python.org website type: compile error versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34150/python-3.3.4-urllibnet-failure.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20695> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
