From 8f45e38148d9a2ebcdf285f9bf89c21c17ba5527 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jugglinmike Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 14:25:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [3.6] bpo-30160: Clarify intended usage of wfile (gh-1300) The library does not enforce compliance with the HTTP protocol, so violations are not technically disallowed.
