The quoting works fine for cookie values, but doesn't kick in for attributes like Comment. >>> c = SimpleCookie()>>> c['foo'] = u'\N{COPYRIGHT SIGN}'.encode('UTF8')>>> print str(c)Set-Cookie: foo="\302\251";>>> c['foo']['comment'] = u'\N{BIOHAZARD SIGN}'.encode('UTF8')>>> print str(c)Set-Cookie: foo="\302\251"; Comment=?;>>> str(c)'Set-Cookie: foo="\\302\\251"; Comment=\xe2\x98\xa3;'>>>

This patch adds an unicode character, converted to UTF8 as a cookie'scomment and then checks if it is correctly quoted.

This patch properly quotes cookie's comment and successfully passestest_cookie.py with applied patch.

Thanks, Zan!All tests pass with both patches applied. Test and fix look correct to me.

Can someone please take a look at this Cookie.py two line patch.

Can we have this committed please,msg82420 says the patches are ok.

Here is a patch for Python 3.

Berker your patch looks good to me.Convert it to a PR and then merge?

This patch only quotes the Comment attribute, and the rest of the code only quotes attributes if they're of the expected type.  Consider Expires:>>> from http.cookies import SimpleCookie>>> c = SimpleCookie()>>> c['name'] = 'value'>>> c['name']['comment'] = '\n'>>> c['name']['expires'] = 123>>> c.output()'Set-Cookie: name=value; Comment="\\012"; expires=Fri, 20 Apr 2018 02:03:13 GMT'>>> c['name']['expires'] = '123; path=.example.invalid''Set-Cookie: name=value; Comment="\\012"; expires=123; path=.example.invalid'Here's the offending line:https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/b87c1c92fc93c5733cd3d8606ab2301ca6ba208f/Lib/http/cookies.py#L415Why not quote all attribute values?

>>> from http.cookies import SimpleCookie>>> c = SimpleCookie()>>> c['name'] = 'value'>>> c['name']['comment'] = '\n'>>> c['name']['expires'] = '123; path=.example.invalid''Set-Cookie: name=value; Comment="\\012"; expires=123; path=.example.invalid'What do you think that the snippet above should return?    'Set-Cookie: name=value; Comment="\\012"; expires=Fri, 20 Apr 2018 02:03:13 GMT; path=.example.invalid'or    'Set-Cookie: name=value; Comment="\\012"; expires=Fri, 20 Apr 2018 02:03:13 GMT; path=".example.invalid"'or    'Set-Cookie: name=value; Comment="\\012"; expires=123; path=".example.invalid"'?I don't think the path attribute (or all of them) needs to be quoted unconditionally. Looking athttps://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-4.1.1, it looks like quoting for cookie-value is optional.Is there a use case or examples from other programming languages you can share with us?

None of the above :-) I'd expect the last one, but with quoting.You should not be able to set fields in a cookie by injection.
