New submission from Mitchell Hashimoto :
In ``Lib/distutils/command/register.py`` as well as ``upload.py``, the
following code exists to build the HTTP request body to send to the cheese shop
server:
body.write('\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="%s"'%key)
body.write("\n\n")
RFC2616 page 31 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#page-31) states that
headers must be separated by CRLF. Specifically, the above "\n\n" for the
header separator is causing issues with some minimal RFC-compliant web servers.
