[issue10980] http.server Header Unicode Bug
New submission from Armin Ronacher armin.ronac...@active-4.com: I have a critical bugfix that should make it into Python 3.2 even when it's in release candidate state. Currently http.server.BaseHTTPServer encodes headers with ASCII charset. This is at least in violation with PEP which demands that latin1 is used. Because HTTP itself suggests latin1 (iso-8859-1) I strongly recommend changing this in BaseHTTPServer and not wsgiref. The attached patch fixes that in a backwards compatible fashion. -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Library (Lib) files: http-server-unicode.patch keywords: patch messages: 126832 nosy: aronacher, georg.brandl priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: http.server Header Unicode Bug type: behavior Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20486/http-server-unicode.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10980 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com added the comment:
Extract of PEP : Note also that strings passed to start_response() as a
status or as response headers must follow RFC 2616 with respect to encoding.
That is, they must either be ISO-8859-1 characters, or use RFC 2047 MIME
encoding.
What is the best choice for portability (HTTP servers and web browsers): latin1
or MIME encoding? Latin1 is a small subset of Unicode: only U+..U+00FF.
We should maybe give the choice to the user between Latin1, MIME, or maybe
something else (eg. UTF-8, cp1252, ...). Or at least, you should try something
like:
try:
bytes = text.encode('latin1')
except UnicodeEncodeError:
bytes = encodeMIME(text, 'utf-8')
Would it be a good idea to accept raw bytes headers? HTTP is *supposed* to be
correctly encoded using different RFC, but in practical, anyone is free to do
whateven he wants.
Sentence extracted randomly from the WWW (dec. 2008): it seems that neither
Tomcat 5.5 or 6 properly decodes HTTP headers as per RFC 2047! The Tomcat code
assumes everywhere that header values use ISO-8859-1.
Finally, why do you consider that this issue have to be fixed before Python 3.2?

[issue10980] http.server Header Unicode Bug
STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com added the comment: RFC 5987 (Character Set and Language Encoding for Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Header Field Parameters), August 2010: http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc5987.html#language.specification.in.encoded.words 3.3 Language Specification in Encoded Words Section 5 of [RFC2231] extends the encoding defined in [RFC2047] to also support language specification in encoded words. Although the HTTP/1.1 specification does refer to RFC 2047 ([RFC2616], Section 2.2), it's not clear to which header field exactly it applies, and whether it is implemented in practice (see http://tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/111 for details). Thus, this specification does not include this feature. Hum ok, Latin1 looks safe and enough. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10980 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
