What steps will reproduce the problem?

import httplib2

def test_add_same_credentials_twice(): CREDENTIALS = ('username', 'password', 'domain') http = httplib2.Http() http.add_credentials(*CREDENTIALS) assert len(http.credentials.crendentials) == 1 assert http.credentials.credentials == [('domain', 'username', 'password')] http.add_credentials(*CREDENTIALS) assert len(http.credentials.crendentials) == 1 assert http.credentials.credentials == [('domain', 'username', 'password')]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Nothing. AssertionError

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.7.0

Please provide any additional information below.

There are two ways to fix it: * quick and dirty, used in my project:

Begin httplib2 monkey patching to fix Credentials leak

def _httplib2_fix_Credentials_add(self, name, password, domain=""): item = (domain.lower(), name, password) if item not in self.credentials: self.credentials.append(item)

httplib2.Credentials.add = _httplib2_fix_Credentials_add

End httplib2 monkey patching to fix Credentials leak

• one that would work well with >50 credentials:

class Credentials(object): def init(self): self.credentials = set()

def add(...): self.credentials.add(...)

def clear(self): self.credentials.clear()

Probably would require few more changes in places which use credentials and testing. May break other people's code that rely on Http().credentials.credentials being a list.
