Description

Using mod_cas, I get this error in apache error log:

MOD_AUTH_CAS: error parsing CASv2 response: XML parser error code: unknown encoding (18)

Error is gone by replacing utf8 by utf-8 in cas/views.py:

authentic_idp_cas/views: fix utf-8 encoding name (fixes #7204)

ElementTree is more rigorous than Python on the UTF-8 encoding name.

I do not think there is a difference between utf8, utf-8 or utf_8 with Python. Are you sure this fixed your problem ?

sure, but I think the true problem is not within python, but with apache
mod auth_cas ...

thought updating your code should make it compatible with the cas apache
plugin.

Ok I understand the problem now, it's not the encoding but the name given to the encoding in the XML output.

It's a strange behaviour from ElementTree, it is more rigourous than Python on the encoding name.

In [3]: ET.tostring(ET.Element('coucou'), encoding='utf8')
Out[3]: "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf8'?>\n<coucou />" 

In [4]: ET.tostring(ET.Element('coucou'), encoding='utf-8')
Out[4]: '<coucou />'
