According to https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/xmlrpc.client.html :
When passing strings, characters special to XML such as <, >, and & will be
automatically escaped. However, it’s the caller’s responsibility to ensure that
the string is free of characters that aren’t allowed in XML, such as the
control characters with ASCII values between 0 and 31 (except, of course, tab,
newline and carriage return); failing to do this will result in an XML-RPC
request that isn’t well-formed XML.
This commit implements the removal of control characters from strings. As we
convert binary data to a string and return it, the resulting string should not
contain forbidden characters neither. The modification of dump_unicode function
now fulfills this requirement and can be applied to dump_bytes, contributing
to a more consistent behavior overall.
steps to reproduce:
- create a product with an ASCII control character in its name (ex: \x03)
- read the product name using XMLRPC
before this commit:
- client can't parse the response, an error is raised
after this commit:
- we make sure the string is free of those characters
