[New-bugs-announce] [issue2935] rfc822.py line 395 strings connection

[Erez Bibi]

New submission from Erez Bibi <erezbibi at users.sourceforge.net>:

Python 2.5 on Windows
rfc822.py line 395
text = name + ": " + value

if 'value' is not a string python will generate an exception. It might
be due to a broken website, but it is not a reason to crash.

I'm using ClientCookie with a Request object (but I don't know the
faulty URL) 

>>> req = urllib2.Request (url)
>>> page = ClientCookie.urlopen (req)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\ClientCookie\_urllib2_support.py", line
824, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 380, in open
    response = meth(req, response)
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\ClientCookie\_urllib2_support.py", line
412, in http_response
    headers[hdr] = val
  File "C:\Python25\lib\rfc822.py", line 395, in __setitem__
    text = name + ": " + value
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects

A simple fix is to replace 
text = name + ": " + value
with
text = ("%s: %s" % (name, value))
