STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
I think that telnet should only use bytes (and not characters). For an
HTTP connection, the charset is only known after parsing the HTTP
headers. So telnet should use bytes, and your HTTP browser will
convert bytes to characters using the charset from the HTTP headers.
My patch only uses bytes for internal buffering and special codes
(IAC, DONT, ENCRYPT, etc.).
Example to test the library (Starwars, telnet, ISO-8859-1):
from telnetlib import Telnet
from sys import stdout
ipv4 = "towel.blinkenlights.nl"
ipv6 = "2001:980:ffe:1::42"
t = Telnet(ipv6, 23)
while True:
command = t.read_some()
command = str(command, "ISO-8859-1")
stdout.write(command)
Example to test the library (Google, HTTP, ASCII):
from telnetlib import Telnet
t = Telnet("www.google.com", 80)
t.write(b'GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n')
answer = t.read_all()
answer = str(answer, "ASCII")
print(answer)
