[New-bugs-announce] [issue13132] distutils sends non-RFC compliant HTTP request

[Mitchell Hashimoto]

New submission from Mitchell Hashimoto <xmitchx at gmail.com>:

In ``Lib/distutils/command/register.py`` as well as ``upload.py``, the following code exists to build the HTTP request body to send to the cheese shop server:

    body.write('\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="%s"'%key)
    body.write("\n\n")

RFC2616 page 31 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#page-31) states that headers must be separated by CRLF. Specifically, the above "\n\n" for the header separator is causing issues with some minimal RFC-compliant web servers.
