描述

Splitting this out of #49303, as @hugovk suggested there.

HTTPMessage.getallmatchingheaders() has returned [] for every input since Python 3.0. It compares self.keys() entries against "name:", but keys() returns header names without the colon, so nothing ever matches:

>>> msg = email.parser.Parser(_class=http.client.HTTPMessage).parsestr("Set-Cookie: a=1\r\n")
>>> msg.get_all("Set-Cookie")
['a=1']
>>> msg.getallmatchingheaders("Set-Cookie")
[]

Its only consumer was CGIHTTPRequestHandler, which @picnixz removed in 3.15 (#133810). The method is undocumented and untested, and since it has never returned anything, no working code can depend on its output — so removing it carries no real compatibility risk.

The older patch on #49303 went further and dropped the whole HTTPMessage class, but that one is a documented public type (it's what response.headers is), so I'd suggest keeping this issue to the method.

Proposal: deprecate in 3.16, remove in 3.18. Happy to send the PR if that's the direction.

调研方向

首先定位 http.client.HTTPMessage.getallmatchingheaders(),并查看 gh-153649 中的相关工作,以及 issue 中提到的原 CGIHTTPRequestHandler 使用者。完成标准是将该方法标记为 Python 3.16 中弃用,并在 3.18 中移除,同时不移除文档化的 HTTPMessage 类。
