New submission from Ashley Harvey <mach...@gmail.com>:
I'm on macOS 10.14.6, wget 1.20.3, python 2.7. Command line: $ wget --save-cookies cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --post-data 'username=myUserName&password=myPassword' --delete-after <url> Line 39 of _MozillaCookieJar.py (cookielib) shows it looking for 'magic_re = "#( Netscape)? HTTP Cookie File"' in order to validate the supplied cookies file. Unlike cURL, wget however, produces a cookies file that begins with "# HTTP cookie file". Note the lower-case c and f. I reported this as a bug to the wget team who looked for the spec to say that that line must follow a certain format and couldn't find any such mention. (See: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56755) The lack of upper-case c and f cause cookielib to choke and stop processing the cookies file, and so here I am reporting it as a bug that the regex is case-sensitive. ---------- components: Library (Lib), macOS messages: 349743 nosy: ashleyharvey, ned.deily, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: CookieLib: MozillaCookieJar.py uses case-sensitive regex to validate cookies file type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37858> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
