From e1e31e45efcd72895b8f0c270890c825439a4138 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zo Bot Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 19:27:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] parse_mimetype: skip empty-key parameters and segments without '=' The MIME parameter parser in parse_mimetype treated every segment after the type/subtype as a valid parameter, even when the segment was malformed. Three real-world patterns were silently producing the spurious empty-key entry {'': 'value'} in the parsed parameters dict, which downstream callers like StringPayload read with .get('charset') and silently fall back to utf-8 without warning: * 'text/html;' (bare trailing ';') was already skipped via the existing 'if not item: continue' check, but a whitespace-only segment slipped through because ''.strip() is truthy in Python. * 'text/html;charset=utf-8' (no space after ';') was treated as a parameter named 'charset=utf-8' with an empty value, not as a charset=utf-8 parameter. * 'text/html;=value' (empty key, present '=') was treated as a parameter with an empty key. Per RFC 9110 section 5.6.5, a MIME type parameter is 'token = token' (or quoted-string), so both the '=' and a non-empty key are required for a segment to be a valid parameter. The fix: * replace the unconditional partition() with a check for the '=' separator (str.partition returns '' as the separator when the needle is absent); * strip the key and skip segments whose key is empty after stripping; * drop the now-redundant outer 'if not item: continue' check (a bare ';' is also a 'no =' segment and is caught by the new check). The pre-existing 'text/plain;base64' case in the parametrize fixture, which the old code parsed as {'base64': ''}, is removed: per the new behaviour ';base64' is a malformed segment (no '=') and is skipped, so the parsed parameters are {}. The new behavior matches RFC 9110 and matches the existing pre-fix behavior for a bare trailing ';'. New test test_parse_mimetype_skips_empty_param_key_and_missing_equals covers the trailing-';' case and asserts that the real 'charset' parameter is still parsed when it precedes the malformed trailing segment, so the fix does not regress the happy path.
