I'd agree with this if it wasn't relatively trivial to calculate. There's no reason that I can think of to exclude the auto-generated Content-Length header for data types for which the size is known. @Martin: > Technically I don’t think there is a bug. The bug is that the Content-Length header is currently added for bodies that are lists and tuples and the value is incorrect. For example: con.request('POST', '/', ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc']) results in Host: example.com Accept-Encoding: identity Content-Length: 3 @David: > Since the latter cannot be done reliably unless we know the list or tuple is > all bytes, I propose that we don't do it at all (since I'd like to see > iterables of text strings supported). The patch here adds support for iterables of text strings (as well as iterables comprised of both bytes and strings). Content-Length can be computed reliably as the size of a latin1-encoded string will be identical to the original string. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23350> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
