[issue1410] BaseHTTPServer cannot accept Unicode data
Christian Heimes added the comment: Due to its nature it is impossible to transmit unicode over the wire. Unicode must always be encoded to bytes before it can be stored on the hard disk or transmitted. Typically it's UTF-8 but in your case it depends on the client's browser and the Request header. The simple BaseHTTPServer isn't clever enough to encode your unicode data on the fly. You have to do it yourself. -- nosy: +tiran __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1410 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue1410] BaseHTTPServer cannot accept Unicode data
J. Peterson added the comment: As implemented it's not even possible to send UTF-8, because the data = str(data) line only accepts seven bit ASCII with the default encoding. Since there's no easy way to change the encoding str() uses, some other mechanism should be available to do the encoding (as implied by the XXX comment). __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1410 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Christian Heimes added the comment: Yes, it's possible to send UTF-8 data: data = utestdata umlaut öäü.encode(utf-8) data 'testdata umlaut \xc3\xb6\xc3\xa4\xc3\xbc' type(data) type 'str' data == str(data) True data is str(data) True You have to encode your unicode string to a byte string. u''.encode(encoding) always returns a string. str() on a string doesn't alter a string. As you can clearly see it's a NOOP (no operation). __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1410 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue1410] BaseHTTPServer cannot accept Unicode data
New submission from J. Peterson: Within a do_GET hander for a BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler, trying to write unicode data causes a UnicodeEncodeError exception. It should be possible to send Unicode data to the browser. The enclosed Python file demonstrates the issue.
