As reported in #117847 and #115366, an unpaired backtick in a docstring
tends to confuse e.g. Sphinx running on subclasses of standard library
objects, and the typographic style of using a backtick as an opening
quote is no longer in favor. Convert almost all uses of the form
The variable `foo' should do xyz
to
The variable 'foo' should do xyz
and also fix up miscellaneous other unpaired backticks (extraneous /
missing characters).
No functional change is intended here other than in human-readable
docstrings.
rfc9110 obsoletes the earlier rfc 7231. This document also includes some
status codes that were previously only used for WebDAV and assigns more
generic names to these status codes.
ref: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-changes-from-rfc-7231
- http.HTTPStatus.CONTENT_TOO_LARGE (413, previously
REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE)
- http.HTTPStatus.URI_TOO_LONG (414, previously REQUEST_URI_TOO_LONG)
- http.HTTPStatus.RANGE_NOT_SATISFYABLE (416, previously
REQUEST_RANGE_NOT_SATISFYABLE)
- http.HTTPStatus.UNPROCESSABLE_CONTENT (422, previously
UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY)
The new constants are added to http.HTTPStatus and the old constant names are
preserved for backwards compatibility.
References in documentation to the obsoleted rfc 7231 are updated
Omit the `@interface_scope` from an IPv6 address when used as Host header by `http.client`.

Add http.client.HTTPConnection method get_proxy_response_headers() - this is a followup to https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/26152 which added it as a non-public attribute. This way we don't pre-compute a headers dictionary that most users will never access. The new method is properly public and documented and triggers full proxy header parsing into a dict only when actually called.

Using `datetime.datetime.utcnow()` and `datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp()` will now raise a `DeprecationWarning`.
We also have removed our internal uses of these functions and documented the change.
* bpo-22708: Upgrade HTTP CONNECT to protocol HTTP/1.1 (GH-NNNN)
Use protocol HTTP/1.1 when sending HTTP CONNECT tunnelling requests;
generate Host: headers if one is not already provided (required by
HTTP/1.1), convert IDN domains to punycode in HTTP CONNECT requests.
* Refactor tests to pass under -bb (fix ByteWarnings); missed some lines >80.
* Use consistent 'tunnelling' spelling in Lib/http/client.py
* Lib/test/test_httplib: Remove remnant of obsoleted test.
* Use dict.copy() not copy.copy()
* fix version changed
* Update Lib/http/client.py

* Don't use for: else:
* Sure, fine, w/e

`IPV4_RE` includes a `.`, and the `.find(".") == -1` included here is already testing to make sure there's no dot, so this part of the expression is tautological. Instead use more modern `in` syntax to make it clear what the check is doing here. The simplified implementation more clearly matches the wording in RFC 2965.

If you had a directory called index.html or index.htm within a directory, it would cause http.server to return a 404 Not Found error instead of the directory listing. This came about due to not checking that the index was a regular file.
I have also added a test case for this situation.

Also \ escape \s in the http.server BaseHTTPRequestHandler.log_message so
that it is technically possible to parse the line and reconstruct what the
original data was. Without this a \xHH is ambiguious as to if it is a hex
replacement we put in or the characters r"\x" came through in the original
request line.
Replace control characters in http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.log_message with an escaped \xHH sequence to avoid causing problems for the terminal the output is printed to.
Remove the keyfile, certfile and check_hostname parameters,
deprecated since Python 3.6, in modules: ftplib, http.client,
imaplib, poplib and smtplib. Use the context parameter (ssl_context
in imaplib) instead.
Parameters following the removed parameters become keyword-only
parameters.
ftplib: Remove the FTP_TLS.ssl_version class attribute: use the
context parameter instead.
The urllib.request no longer uses the deprecated check_hostname
parameter of the http.client module.
Add private http.client._create_https_context() helper to http.client,
used by urllib.request.
Remove the now redundant check on check_hostname and verify_mode in
http.client: the SSLContext.check_hostname setter already implements
the check.
* Add an index_pages default list to SimpleHTTPRequestHandler and an
optional constructor parameter that allows the default indexes pages
list to be overridden. This makes it easy to set a new index page name
without having to override send_head.
Fix an open redirection vulnerability in the `http.server` module when
an URI path starts with `//` that could produce a 301 Location header
with a misleading target. Vulnerability discovered, and logic fix
proposed, by Hamza Avvan (@hamzaavvan).

Note: This change is not effective on Microsoft Windows.
Cookies can store sensitive information and should therefore be protected
against unauthorized third parties. This is also described in issue #79096.
The filesystem permissions are currently set to 644, everyone can read the
file. This commit changes the permissions to 600, only the creater of the file
can read and modify it. This improves security, because it reduces the attack
surface. Now the attacker needs control of the user that created the cookie or
a ways to circumvent the filesystems permissions.
This change is backwards incompatible. Systems that rely on world-readable
cookies will breake. However, one could argue that those are misconfigured in
the first place.
* Set content-length for simple http server 301s
When http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler sends a 301 (Moved
Permanently) due to a missing file, it does not set a Content-Length
of 0. Unfortunately, certain clients can be left waiting for the
connection to be closed in this circumstance, even though no body
will be sent. At time of writing, both curl and Firefox demonstrate
this behavior.
* Test Content-Length on simple http server redirect
When serving a redirect, the SimpleHTTPRequestHandler will now send
`Content-Length: 0`. Several tests for http.server already cover
various behaviors and checks including redirection. This change only
adds one check for the expected Content-Length on the simplest case
for a redirect.
* Add news entry for SimpleHTTPRequestHandler fix
* Clarify the specific kind of 301
