Mads Kiilerich <m...@kiilerich.com> added the comment: FYI: The regression was introduced in 2.6.5 with issue3819 .
This also causes problems with Mercurial pushing to google code - see http://mercurial.selenic.com/bts/issue2179 . IIRC google code redirects to an url which then in turn requests authentication. I'm not sure how that will work with a retry count of 1. The funny and inconsistent thing is that it apparently would work if they replied 403 instead of 401. "durin42" from google/mercurial knows the details. (It seems suspicious to me that there are code paths where the retry counter is reset. Doesn't that mean that a remote server will be able to cause endless recursion? Shouldn't there be some kind of hard upper limit on the number of retries?) ---------- nosy: +kiilerix _______________________________________ 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
