[issue11898] Sending binary data with a POST request in httplib can cause Unicode exceptions

sorin added the comment: I have to add some details here. First, this bug has nothing to do with the URL, it does reproduce for normal urls. Still the problem with the line: "msg += message_body" is quite complex when combined with Python 2.7: type(msg) is unicode type(message_body) is str

[issue11898] Sending binary data with a POST request in httplib can cause Unicode exceptions

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Soren, this is an issue that claimed a bug, not a bug. The resolution is that the claim appears false because the problem arose from using unicode rather than bytes url. The error message may be confusing, but the error class cannot be changed. Senthil says t

[issue11898] Sending binary data with a POST request in httplib can cause Unicode exceptions

sorin added the comment: There is another problem that makes the problem even more critical. OS X 10.7 does include Python 2.7.1 as the *default* interpreter. So we'll need both a fix for the future and an workaround. BTW, the hack with sys.setdefaultencoding cannot be used if you really send

[issue11898] Sending binary data with a POST request in httplib can cause Unicode exceptions

sorin added the comment: Can we get more info regarding resolution of this bug. Due to this bug httplib cannot be used anymore to send binary data. This bug breaks other modules, one example being PyAMF (that does communicate only using binary data). -- nosy: +sorin _

[issue11898] Sending binary data with a POST request in httplib can cause Unicode exceptions

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Ion, as you perhaps noticed, posting a message 'subscribes' you (puts you on the nosy list). One can also add oneself as nosy with the little button under it without saying anything. This should be reopened because we do not change error classes in bugfix re

[issue11898] Sending binary data with a POST request in httplib can cause Unicode exceptions

Ion Scerbatiuc added the comment: Hello again, After some digging I found that the "real" problem was because the provided URL was a unicode string and the concatenation was failing. Maybe this is not a big deal, but I think we should least do a proper assertion for the provided URL or some

[issue11898] Sending binary data with a POST request in httplib can cause Unicode exceptions

Ion Scerbatiuc added the comment: Hello, I would like to subscribe to the issue. The problem seems to indeed exist in Python 2.7. What I'm doing is to proxy HTTP requests (using Django) and the PUT / POST requests are working fine on Python 2.6 but are failing on 2.7 with the error already

[issue11898] Sending binary data with a POST request in httplib can cause Unicode exceptions

Senthil Kumaran added the comment: The bug was about sending Binary "data" via httplib. In the example you wrote, you are sending a unicode "url" and experiencing a failure for certain examples. In the 2.7, the urls should be str type, we don't have function to deal with unicode url separately

[issue11898] Sending binary data with a POST request in httplib can cause Unicode exceptions

Jiri Horky added the comment: I have the same problem as the original submitter. The reason it previously worked for you was probably because you didn't utilize a "right" unicode string in the urllib2.request. The following code will raise the exception (I enclose the data file for completene

Senthil Kumaran added the comment: Hello Bernhard, I tried to a POST of JPEG file, through urllib2 (which internally uses httplib) and goes through the code that you pointed out and I don't face any problem. I am able to POST binaries using httplib. I am also surprised at UnicodeDecodeError
