easy_install doesn't work when there are multiple Content-Length headers
Hi all, Just today I'm using easy_install to install mechanize and it is failing with the error "ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '382727, 382727'". By reading the source code and looking at the headers I see that the server is returning 2 Content-Length headers (same value, 382727), which is turned into '382727, 382727'. Fixing this should be very easy and I can do it then submit a patch. I'm just wondering, as distutils seem to be in a forking process, what's the best way to solve this? Hoàng Xuân Phú

This is a problem with httplib, which should be resilient to this situation. I've already filed a bug against SourceForge, for generating an extra (useless) header, but it's only vaguely a bug. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> "A storm broke loose in my mind." --Albert Einstein
