Pre patch:
>>> urljoin('mailto:foo@', 'bar.com')
'bar.com'
Post patch:
>>> urljoin('mailto:foo@', 'bar.com')
'mailto:bar.com/bar.com'
I'm taking an educated guess here based on a marginal amount of research (there
are just a few registered schemes at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xhtml that should be
understood), but it /seems/ like perhaps the current behaviour is intended to
safeguard against joining non-hierarchical schemes in which case you'd get
nonsensical values. It does seem a little odd to me, but I definitely prefer
the former behaviour to the latter.
I think that short term, Madison's suggestion about documenting uses_relative
would be an easy win and can be applied to all branches. Long term though, I
think it would be nice to have a generalized urljoin() method that accounts for
most (if not all) classifications of url schemes.
Thoughts?
