New submission from R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com>: I tracked down the exact cause of the refleak in test_urllib2_localnet. Turns out the DigestAuthHandler adds a nonce to its internal _nonces list every time _return_auth_challenge is called, but not all of these nonces are removed from the list.
Not sure what the cleanest fix would be. I'm not that familiar with auth protocols; I'm guessing a real auth server would time out stale nonces. One question I have is if the tests are expecting that the nonce will get deleted, and thus there is a real bug here...but I suspect not. Adding FakeProxyHandler.digest_auth_handler._nonces = [] to the tearDown for ProxyAuthTests fixes the leak. Is this acceptable, or does this merit further investigation? ---------- components: Tests keywords: easy messages: 87593 nosy: r.david.murray priority: low severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: test_urlllib2_localnet DigestAuthHandler leaks nonces type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6002> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
