If the parser is fed a chunk which ends with '\r' and the next chunk
begins with '\n', it incorrectly parses this into a line ending with
'\r' and an empty line ending with '\n' instead of a single line ending
with '\r\n'.

Test attached. Patch to follow.

Patch.

Can you include your unit test in your patch rather than as a separate
script? Existing unit tests are in Lib/test.

Combined patch as requested by pitrou.

(Sorry. This is my first submission.)

Sorry for giving you a slightly wrong indication. The email tests are
called from Lib/test/test_email.py, but it redirects to
Lib/email/test/*. In any case, there's no point in creating a separate
test script for such a detail, you should add your test to one of the
existing test scripts instead.

I believe both 2.4 and 3.0 are no longer maintained. 2.5 only gets
security fixes. On the otherhand, fix should go into 3.2 ;-).

I was looking at this bug and tried to reproduce it, but I can't :( I extracted this code:


part1 = 'Content-Type: multipart/related; start=<op.mhtml.1247227666422.e6e72d4c344a2503@192.168.1.20>; boundary=----------1JBOHhxKNnWgkmE17ZJ2Cy\r\nContent-Location: http://localhost/page1.html\r\nSubject: =?utf-8?Q?test?=\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\n\r\n------------1JBOHhxKNnWgkmE17ZJ2Cy\r'
part2 = '\nContent-Disposition: inline; filename=page1.html\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8; name=page1.html\r\nContent-Id: <op.mhtml.1247227666422.e6e72d4c344a2503@192.168.1.20>\r\nContent-Location: http://localhost/page1.html\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">\r\n<html><head><title>Page 1</title></head><body><p>page 1</p></body></html>\r\n------------1JBOHhxKNnWgkmE17ZJ2Cy--\r\n'
expected = '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">\r\n<html><head><title>Page 1</title></head><body><p>page 1</p></body></html>'
from email.feedparser import FeedParser
feedparser = FeedParser()
feedparser.feed(part1)
feedparser.feed(part2)
m = feedparser.close()
mm = m.get_payload()
mm[0].get_payload() == expected

from the test attached to this bug, and tried on:

* py3k
* release3.1-maint
* release2.7-maint
* debian 2.6.6

(the first 3 recompiled just before the test) and in all of the cases the last instruction returns True, so I'm actually quite skeptical this is still a bug, or there something I'm missing.

I'm not closing this bug yet, since I'd like to hear first from the people involved back then.

My notes say that this bug is "similar to issue 5610", the fix for which made it in to 2.6.  I meant to come back and see if that fix fixed this bug, but I forgot.  The fix is different, so it is worth verifying that this test case fails in 2.5 but works subsequently.

Lucky as I can be, I have 2.5.5 here and I can confirm that with this version the code above fails - so I think this issue can be closed as fixed by issue5610 (I hope I correctly set all the fields, if not please let me know :)).
msg127768 - (view) Author: R. David Murray (r.david.murray) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-02-02 21:41
Looks good to me.  I've added the #6510 as superseder, though I doubt we'll ever make use of that info :)
