[issue33342] urllib IPv6 parsing fails with special characters in passwords
Terrence Brannon added the comment: I would like to add to this bug - the password field on the URL cannot contain a pound sign or question mark or the parser incorrectly parses the URL, as this gist demonstrates - https://gist.github.com/metaperl/fc6f43bf6b9a9f874b8f27e29695e68c -- nosy: +metaperl ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue33342> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue33342] urllib IPv6 parsing fails with special characters in passwords
Terrence Brannon added the comment: Regarding "RFC 2396 explicitly excludes the use of [ and ] in URLs. RFC 2732 <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt> defines the syntax for IPv6 URLs, and allows [ and ] ONLY in the host part. So I'd say that the behaviour is arguably correct (if somewhat unfortunate)" I would say that a square bracket CAN be used in the password, but that it should be urlencoded and that this library should perform a urldecode for both username and password, just as SQLAlchemy does. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue33342> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Terrence Brannon added the comment: Also note, if SQLAlchemy gives any guidance, then note that SA unquotes both the username and password of the URL: https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/blob/master/lib/sqlalchemy/engine/url.py#L274 -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue33342> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
