Following the issue 7776, there is a patch for 2.7 version.

Which changes the method of class HTTPConnection from "_set_hostport" to "_get_hostport"[1], it seems introduce in some incompatibility issues.

On my system, the file "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/mercurial/url.py" from package mercurial-3.0-2.fc21 still use the old method "_set_hostport". I met an error "AttributeError: httpsconnection instance has no attribute '_set_hostport'" when use this package. I only see this incompatibility issue so far.

And in the file httplib.py itself, [2] still use "self._conn._set_hostport(host, port)", which should be "self._conn._get_hostport(host, port)" if it's settled to rename "_set_hostport" to "_get_hostport".

That leading underscore in the method name means it is not a public API and thus changes are allowed without any backwards-compatibility guarantees. Mercurial will need to update their code to handle this if they want to continue to use the method.

This is a bug first reported here https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2015-January/697228.html.  The problem is that in #7776 r90728 568041fd8090 _set_hostport was renamed to _get_hostport but there is still a call to the former at line 1132 in httplib.py.

There's definitely a bug because httplib is now using a method that doesn't exist.

Ouch. Will fix this today. Strange, I think, no coverage exists for that and it has escaped our testing.

@Senthil: If you're fixing this today, can you also correct the typo here: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/568041fd8090/#l1.27 (s/HTML/HTTP)? Just caught my eye going through the review that Mark linked.
msg234509 - (view) Author: Senthil Kumaran (orsenthil) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-01-22 18:43
Demian, sure, will do.

Serhiy, did you add me to Cc just for information, or is there anything I should be doing (having written the patch that introduced this bug)?
msg234536 - (view) Author: Senthil Kumaran (orsenthil) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-01-23 01:47
Nikolaus, nothing might be required from your end. Just a good protocol to keep the interested parties in CC.
msg234546 - (view) Author: Senthil Kumaran (orsenthil) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-01-23 09:13
Here is the patch to fix this. I have added a test case covering this change. Please review this and if it is good to go, I will commit it. Thank you.

+class TestServer(TestCase):

This can be a mixin.

+    def testHTTPWithConnectHostPost(self):

Post -> Port?

+        self.conn = httplib.HTTP(host=constructor_host, port=constructor_port)

or to make the test simpler,

    self.conn = httplib.HTTP()

Other than Berker's comments, LGTM.
msg234568 - (view) Author: Senthil Kumaran (orsenthil) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-01-23 18:08
Addressed Berker's review comments.
1) Made the TestServer a Mixin. (Thanks, that's the correct to do).
2) Changed Post to Port.
3) I went with still using a testdomain and port in the constructor. My idea of the test is to demonstrate that the connect(host,port) is used when given rather than HTTP(host,port).

Fixed in 2.7. Other versions do not have this bug.

Thank you! Would porting the tests be useful, though?

> Would porting the tests be useful, though?

Yes, it will be useful to port the tests to 3.4 and default branch.
I will do that.
msg234642 - (view) Author: Senthil Kumaran (orsenthil) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-01-25 00:43
Actually, the same tests cannot be ported to 3.4 or default. httplib.HTTP class has been merged to HTTPConnection in 3.x and we don't allow a host, and port in connect().

There is good test coverage for verifying host, port in test_hort_port test in 3.x

However, I saw that TunnelTests could see some refactor and a test addition to cover the _tunnel_host, _tunnel_port attributes (which are set using _get_hostport method). 

Attaching a change to client.test_httplib which refactors TunnelTest and adds a new test called test_set_tunnel_host_port_headers. Please review if this change is Okay. I can push this in 3.4 and default branches.

Thanks!

+        self.assertDictEqual(self.conn._tunnel_headers, tunnel_headers)

You could just use assertEqual. Quoting from docs:

    "The list of type-specific methods automatically used by assertEqual() are summarized in the following table. Note that it’s usually not necessary to invoke these methods directly."

https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.addTypeEqualityFunc

+        self.assertTrue(b'CONNECT destination.com' in self.conn.sock.data)
+        self.assertTrue(b'Host: destination.com' in self.conn.sock.data)

You could use assertIn instead.
