Package: python-requests Version: 2.7.0-3 Severity: normal Hello,
thank you for maintaining python requests. When I run the attached script and test file, using python2 and python3, I get: $ ./test_post Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test_post", line 33, in <module> res.raise_for_status() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 851, in raise_for_status raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self) requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 413 Client Error: Request Entity Too Large ...but if I post it with curl, it works: $ curl https://contributors.debian.org/contributors/test_post -F source=bugs.debian.org -F data=@test.json.xz -F data_compression=xz -k { "records_parsed": 30000, "contributions_created": 0, "code": 200, "contributions_updated": 0, "errors": [], "identifiers_skipped": 0, "contributions_processed": 0, "records_skipped": 0, "contributions_skipped": 0 } I suspect that python-requests is getting confused with ssl renegotiation that was introduced when we implemented client certificate authentication[1], although it's hard for me to track that down. The best I can do is to provide a test case for reproducing the behaviour, that does not require any debian credentials to be run[2]. Thank you, Enrico [1] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianSingleSignOn#Debian_SSO_documentation [2] I have just implemented a test submission url on contributors.debian.org and a random submission generator, so that I could post this bug report: it was yak shaving morning -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages python-requests depends on: ii ca-certificates 20150426 ii python-chardet 2.3.0-1 ii python-urllib3 1.11-2 pn python:any <none> python-requests recommends no packages.
