Since corona10 abandonned his https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1216 I 
created a new PR:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2800

I chose to only reject newline (\n): "\r" and "\0" are not rejected.

My PR rejects any URL containing "\n", even if the newline is part of the 
"path" part of the URL. While I expect that filenames containing newlines are 
very rare, my PR is an incompatible change which breaks such use case :-(

I don't know where is the balanace between security and backward 
compatibility... I started a thread on python-dev:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-July/148699.html
