New submission from song1st: When I tried to skip "ACCEPT-ENCODING" of header, I found the behavior was not right. I think the issue is the following two "if" in _send_request of httplib.
def _send_request(self, method, url, body, headers): # Honor explicitly requested Host: and Accept-Encoding: headers. header_names = dict.fromkeys([k.lower() for k in headers]) skips = {} if 'host' in header_names: skips['skip_host'] = 1 if 'accept-encoding' in header_names: skips['skip_accept_encoding'] = 1 ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 287295 nosy: song1st priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: httplib: could not skip "ACCEPT-ENCODING" header type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
