New submission from Jacky: HTTPResponse.close() in httplib should consume all remaining data in body if any. Or the followed request would get the unread content from the previous request, which result in the wrong result.
The following code shown that the second request will get a wrong status code if calling HTTPResponse.close() on the first response. The whole code consists of a HTTP server and a client. The server will always return 403 for testing. def client(): conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(HOST, PORT) conn.request('GET', PATH, None, headers={}) rsp = conn.getresponse() print rsp.status rsp.close() # close response conn.request('GET', PATH, None, headers={}) rsp2 = conn.getresponse() print rsp2.status # --> should be 403 The full version see the attached file (The server used Tornado) ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: zzz.py messages: 259122 nosy: Jacky priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: HTTPResponse.close() should consume all remaining data in body if any type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41742/zzz.py _______________________________________ 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
