--------------------------------------
> req.readlines(sizehint) does not work correctly

> Key: MODPYTHON-179
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-179
> Project: mod_python
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.2.8
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Jim Gallacher
> Assigned To: Jim Gallacher
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.3
>
>
> A bug in req_readlines(sizehint) in requestobject.c causes output to be
> returned prematurely for any value of the optional sizehint argument.
> The faulty bit of code is:
> line = req_readline(self, rlargs);
> while (line && (PyString_Size(line)>0)) {
> PyList_Append(result, line);
> size += PyString_Size(line);
> if ((sizehint != -1) && (size >= size))
> break;
> line = req_readline(self, args);
> }
> Since (size >= size) will always be true, reading the input stream will end
> prematurely for any value of sizehint != -1.
> This code will fix the problem.

> Once that is fixed the documentation needs to be revised, as it does not
> accurately reflect the behaviour of the code.
> Currently the docs are:
> """Reads all or up to sizehint bytes of lines using readline and returns a
> list of the lines read."""
> whereas the code can read beyond sizehint. The total read could actually be
> sizehint + len(line) where line is the last line read.
