New submission from Amrith Kumar: The urlparse library incorrectly accepts a URI which specifies an invalid host identifier.
Example: http://www.example.com:/abc Looking at the URI specifications, this is an invalid URI. By definition, you are supposed to specify a "hostport" and a hostport is defined as: https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html hostport host [ : port ] The BNF indicates that : is only valid if a port is also specified. See current behavior; I submit to you that this should generate an exception. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8504f160ff90649890b5a2a82f8028b0 ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 282086 nosy: amrith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: urlparse.urlparse() parses invalid URI without generating an error (examples provided) type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
