RHBA-2015:1475 - python-requests bug fix update


Synopsis

python-requests bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated python-requests package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The python-requests package contains a library designed to make HTTP requests easy for developers.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • When the python-swiftclient utility sent a request with a HHTP header containing upper-case characters, Apache previously rejected the request with a "bad request" error. With this update, the python-requests implementation of case-insensitive dictionary has been fixed, and python-swiftclient now merges headers with different cases correctly. As a result, the described HTTP error no longer occurs. (BZ#1206465)

Users of python-requests are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
