[New-bugs-announce] [issue34777] urllib.request accepts anything as a header parameter for some URLs

[Jose Gama]

New submission from Jose Gama <josephgama at yahoo.com>:

It is possible to use urllib.request defining a header that can be junk in some cases and still get the contents without any warning or error.
The behavior depends on the URL and also on the header.
