Senthil Kumaran <orsent...@gmail.com> added the comment: This is fixed in r81636, r81637, r81638, r81637. Just like the Digest Authentication, the urllib2 will try for 5 times before failing for any authentication failure ( It won't lead to recursion).
I had a thought that Basic Authentication need not be retried (no where in the RFC it mentions about it), but I found some references that clients do present the dialog a couple of times for retry on wrong authentication, so we are going for the same. This is tested with actual resource setup. Closing this issue as this bug is fixed. ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8797> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
