[issue14338] urllib2 HowTo for overriding post/3xx behavior.
New submission from beeNuts <jeff.adams@linux.com>: Issue #14144, with the title "urllib2 HTTPRedirectHandler not forwarding POST data in redirect" was recently closed with these comments: "This could be cookbook recipe style example, if it's utility value is high. I am closing this issue as I feel that the requirement may not be addressed by a change. If there is patch for HowTo, we can tackle that in another issue. Thank you for contribution." The decision that documents on this issue were preferable to a patch seems like a fair compromise, especially considering that the RFC is decidedly ambiguous.I was wondering if the HowTo would be forthcoming? It seems to me that the value/utility would certainly be high. I'd submit it myself but I'm so new to Python that I don't trust my ability to do it correctly. It's something I would find highly useful, though. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 156080 nosy: beerNuts, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: urllib2 HowTo for overriding post/3xx behavior. versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14338> _______________________________________

Éric Araujo <merwok@netwok.org> added the comment: The idea is to add a short example in Doc/howto/urllib2.rst. Senthil explained how to do things on #14144 (“obtain the redirected URL and then POST to [it]”), and the example should be introduced by a clear warning about security/misbehavior risks (this is why I’m not adding the “easy” keyword to this report). If you would like to propose a patch, you can find instructions on how to get and edit the source for the docs in the devguide. You can also write to the beginner-friendly core-mentorship mailing list (link in the devguide or on mail.python.org) to request help or guidance. ---------- nosy: +crustymonkey, eric.araujo, orsenthil stage: -> needs patch title: urllib2 HowTo for overriding post/3xx behavior. -> Document how to forward POST data on redirects versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14338> _______________________________________
Jay Deiman <admin@splitstreams.com> added the comment: I actually just worked around this issue in my library to do specifically what I needed it to do, which was an automatic redirect POST with data. As far as general recipes are concerned, anyone could just follow what I did in my library at: https://github.com/crustymonkey/py-sonic or http://pypi.python.org/pypi/py-sonic All I did was just subclass HTTPRedirectHandler and essentially add my patch. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14338> _______________________________________
