jwt.encode produces not constant JWT header in Python 3 #116
Description
After updating to 1.0.0 I found some inconsistency:
When running the following test:
def test_encode_jwt():
import jwt
from sys import version_info
claims_set = {
'sub': 'user'
}
key = 'secret'
token = jwt.encode(claims_set, key)
if version_info >= (3, 0, 0):
token = token.decode(encoding='UTF-8')
assert token == 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1c2VyIn0.' \
'8jVjALlPRYpE03sMD8kuqG9D4RSih5NjiISNZ-wO3oY'In Python 2.7 this test passes always.
In Python 3.4 this test sometimes passes and sometimes not.
The reason is, that in Python 3 jwt.encode sometimes produce a header like:
{
"alg": "HS256",
"typ": "JWT"
}
This is the same like in Python 2.
But sometimes it produces a header like:
{
"typ": "JWT",
"alg": "HS256"
}
I didn't find out why this happens.
