New submission from Bob Chen:
Try to run these two script below, and you will understand what I'm talking
about.
If you specified an url and it happened to be an unicode string(which is quite
common in python because python processes string as unicode and you could
possibly get it from somewhere else), and your header contains a utf-8 string
converted from a foreign language, like u'呵呵', then the codec error occurred.
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 808, in _send_output
msg = "\r\n".join(self._buffer)
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
# should fail
import httplib, urllib
params = urllib.urlencode({'@number': 12524, '@type': 'issue', '@action':
'show'})
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"Accept": "text/plain", 'notes': u'呵呵'.encode('utf-8')}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(u"bugs.python.org")
conn.request("POST", u"http://bugs.python.org/any_url";, params, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
# should be ok
import httplib, urllib
params = urllib.urlencode({'@number': 12524, '@type': 'issue', '@action':
'show'})
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"Accept": "text/plain", 'notes': u'呵呵'.encode('utf-8')}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(u"bugs.python.org")
conn.request("POST", "http://bugs.python.org/any_url";, params, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason
