Hi, I've built an XML-RPC application built on Zope3 (3.4.1) components. I noticed that when a user is having one or more colons in his password, an exception is raised : File '/var/local/eggs/zope.app.wsgi-3.4.3-py2.5.egg/zope/app/wsgi/__init__.py', line 55 in __call__ request = publish(request, handle_errors=handle_errors) File '/var/local/eggs/zope.publisher-3.4.10-py2.5.egg/zope/publisher/publish.py', line 130 in publish obj = request.traverse(obj) File '/var/local/eggs/zope.publisher-3.4.10-py2.5.egg/zope/publisher/http.py', line 464 in traverse ob = super(HTTPRequest, self).traverse(obj) File '/var/local/eggs/zope.publisher-3.4.10-py2.5.egg/zope/publisher/base.py', line 252 in traverse publication.callTraversalHooks(self, obj) File '/var/local/eggs/zope.app.publication-3.4.4-py2.5.egg/zope/app/publication/zopepublication.py', line 129 in callTraversalHooks self._maybePlacefullyAuthenticate(request, ob) File '/var/local/eggs/zope.app.publication-3.4.4-py2.5.egg/zope/app/publication/zopepublication.py', line 116 in _maybePlacefullyAuthenticate principal = auth.authenticate(request) File '/var/local/eggs/zope.app.authentication-3.4.4-py2.5.egg/zope/app/authentication/authentication.py', line 72 in authenticate credentials = credplugin.extractCredentials(request) File '/var/local/eggs/zope.app.authentication-3.4.4-py2.5.egg/zope/app/authentication/httpplugins.py', line 89 in extractCredentials login, password = base64.decodestring(credentials).split(':') ValueError: too many values to unpack So maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't the last instruction be replaced with : login, password = base64.decodestring(credentials).split(':', 1) Regards, Thierry Florac -- Chef de projets intranet/internet Office National des Forêts - Département Informatique 2, Avenue de Saint-Mandé 75570 Paris Cedex 12 Tél. : 01 40 19 59 64 Fax. : 01 40 19 58 85 Mél. : thierry.florac@onf.fr Web. : http://www.onf.fr
