Martin Panter added the comment: The documentation already says you have to read the whole response before sending a new request: <https://docs.python.org/2/library/httplib.html#httplib.HTTPConnection.getresponse>. So I think this is more like a new feature than a bug fix, and would have to go into 3.6.
But I am not sure it is a good idea. What if the response is a large multi-megabyte download? In that case, it might make more sense to shut down the connection and start a new one. It might be possible to add extra error checking to prevent reading a second response until the first is complete. I am not sure if that is practical or worthwhile though. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26231> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
