R. David Murray added the comment: I would like to say that the latter interpretation is "obviously" correct, except that it clearly wasn't obvious to you. The fact that it "contains the output stream" I would have thought was pretty clear: if you are writing to it, you are responsible for anything you do to that output stream. The "must" refers to the same the the RFC "must" refers to: in order to be RFC compliant, you must conform to the RFC.
Perhaps we could clarify that sentence by saying: "Proper adherence to the HTTP protocol must be used when writing to this stream in order to achieve successful interoperation with http clients." I think that would make it clear that if you don't, you'll be testing the client's response to protocol violations :) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30160> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
