That is why the RFC (for netnews) explicitly mentions that the space after the colon is not part of the value. See the grammar for OVER in RFC 3977: hdr-n-content = [(header-name ":" / metadata-name) SP hdr-content] So yes, only the first space should be stripped. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10281> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
