Robin Schoonover added the comment: I'm not sure I follow, as it has little to say on whether the application's expected behavior here, and only a recommendation that the server allow it. But, it also defers to the "Python Standard Library", which does have an opinion. I feel that (in hindsight) the exact behavior of each method should have been specified in full.
*However*, even if I differ on the reading of the spec, on general principle (and this has changed since I first wrote the issue) I agree that the application should not be omitting it anyway, because reading the entire response at once without checking the content length is dangerous. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18610> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
