Issue1728431

Not 100% sure what the error is here, but thought I'd flag it in case it was something that should be looked at...

When connecting to a XML-RPC server that's immediately closing it's input socket, I enabled debug in the httplib as below:

import httplib
httplib.HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 1

which resulted in the following error:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "Air_GetBal.py", line 17, in ?
  File "/export/home/topup/jython2.2b2/Lib/xmlrpclib.py", line 824, in __call__
  File "/export/home/topup/jython2.2b2/Lib/xmlrpclib.py", line 974, in _ServerProxy__request
  File "/export/home/topup/jython2.2b2/Lib/xmlrpclib.py", line 843, in request

  File "/export/home/topup/jython2.2b2/Lib/httplib.py", line 566, in send
AttributeError: __getitem__

Interestingly, I don't enable the debugging, I get different behaviour and see the following instead...

Just noticed 229368, which looks to be the same underlying issue (although I don't understand the significance of needing to enable the debug in this particular case).

Closing as a dupe.

Gwyn, could run your code usingJython 2.2 rc 2 (or newer if available)? New socket module ought to fix the underlying problem in this case (old bug you referenced is not closed) and it would be interesting to know are there other issues in httplib.

I'm afraid that I don't have access to the (third-party) server I was using at the moment, but I'll bear it in mind if I am in a position to be able to try it in the future.
