12720	Django test client cookie handling broken with Python trunk and next 2.6.$NEXT	James Henstridge	nobody	"After upgrading to the the Ubuntu 10.04 alpha, I found that the tests for my Django application started failing.  This seemed to be because the Python 2.6 package included unreleased fixes from the release26-maint branch.  In particular it included the following bug fix to the Cookie module:

    http://bugs.python.org/issue5275

When the django.test client builds up a WSGI environment, it passes a SimpleCookie instance for HTTP_COOKIE.  Prior to the change, django.http.parse_cookie() would copy the morsels directly.  After the change, the values for all the cookies are the str() version of the morsels (e.g. ""Set-Cookie: sessionid=value"" instead of ""value"").

This breaks any tests that depend on cookie handling (e.g. those that depend on cookie authentication).

While this does represent a change of behaviour in Python, the behaviour of the django test client does not really match the WSGI specification in this regard, so I think it'd be worth fixing in Django.  Patch attached."		closed	Testing framework	1.1		fixed			Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
