New submission from DS6: Inconsistent casing, such as "Content-type" vs "Content-Type", "Content-Length" vs "Content-length", while technically not breaking any RFC or other HTTP-related rules (headers are case-insensitive, after all), can occasionally cause problems when attempting to retrieve already-set headers from http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler._headers_buffer (in my situation specifically, trying to retrie the Content-Type header in the sendfile method in an extended BaseHTTPRequestHandler class). This happens a lot in the file and I wouldn't be surprised if the problem were to crop up in other places as well. I'm a new user of Python, so despite having searched for an answer to this problem, if there's a case-insensitive way to obtain items from a list and I'm just daft, please feel free to point me in the right direction, though I feel that the casing should be corrected regardless for consistency and optimization sake.
(Aside: I would try to publish a patch along with this issue report with the casing issues fixed, but I'm not too knowledgeable about versioning and stuff and would have no idea where to start.) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 227324 nosy: DS6 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Lib/http/server.py, inconsistent header casing versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22467> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
