[issue39727] cgi.parse() fatally attempts str.decode when handling multipart/form-data
New submission from James Edington : It appears that cgi.parse() in Python 3.7.6 [GCC 9.2.1 20190827 (Red Hat 9.2.1-1)] fatally chokes on POST requests with multipart/form-data due to some internal processing still relying on assumptions from when str and bytes were the same object. I'll attach as the first comment the "try-it-at-home" file to demonstrate this error. -- components: Library (Lib) files: curlLogs.txt messages: 362490 nosy: James Edington priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: cgi.parse() fatally attempts str.decode when handling multipart/form-data type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48902/curlLogs.txt ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue39727> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
