[New-bugs-announce] [issue5007] urllib2 HTTPS connection failure (BadStatusLine Exception)

[ak]

New submission from ak <aktests at gmail.com>:

https://www.orange.sk/ is served by an Oracle HTTPS server, and works
with firefox or opera but not urllib2.

code snippet:

--------
import cookiejar
import urllib2

cookiejar = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookiejar))
url = 'https://www.orange.sk/'
req = urllib2.Request(url, None)
s=opener.open(req)
-------- 

Here's some output with debuglevel=1 :

>>> opener.open(urllib2.Request('http://www.orange.sk/', None, headers))

reply: 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n'

>>> opener.open(urllib2.Request('https://www.orange.sk/', None, headers))

reply: ''
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 381, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 399, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 360, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 1115, in https_open
    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPSConnection, req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 1080, in do_open
    r = h.getresponse()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 928, in getresponse
    response.begin()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 385, in begin
    version, status, reason = self._read_status()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 349, in _read_status
    raise BadStatusLine(line)
httplib.BadStatusLine 

As you can see the reply from the server seems empty (which results in
the BadStatusLine exception)
