Nonce with equals issue

[naumansiddiqui4]

When I create nonce from server which contains a = in the nonce. It fails my test case parse_equal_sign_delimited_keys_values in a4 test suite.

I checked web-tester code in httptester.py and function parse_equal_sign_delimited_keys_values, code parses for key and values by splitting on =. This, I feel could be issue for my test case failing.

If my nonce does not have an equals sign, then my test case never fails.

Yes, that indeed is a bug. I will fix the WWW-Authenticate header parser.

By the way, do you have a specific situation where you want to have = sign in the values of attributes of WWW-Authenticate header?

I do not have any specific situation. When I run the test case multiple times, it fails once because of the equals sign for nonce value. Thanks & Regards, Mohammed Nauman Siddique Contact Number: +91- 8826206356

While I understand that quoted strings may contain = sign, the recommended way of generating nonce in this class is a Hex Digest which should not contain it. So, for the sake of simplicity, I would defer this fix for a later day, unless necessary.
