Adam Nelson <a...@varud.com> added the comment: I can't think of too many specific scenarios. It just seems like a non- trivial behavior change (or rather, it is trivial but with possibly far reaching ramifications).
One issue I see is that the ticket morphed from just dealing with space characters to many special characters. quote_plus() probably would have handled the space issue cleanly. The other issue I'm concerned about is that there is no testing of non- ascii URLs (or at least I don't see any). Finally, a netloc like 'www.g oogle.com' would be converted invalidly to 'www.g%20oogle.com' which would then be forwarded to an actual HTTP request. I can't point to anything too specific - more of just a feeling that this ticket is already 5 1/2 years old and maybe things should be left as-is and enhancement made only to Python 3.x. Of course, I'm really just a new Python convert so I don't have massive experience here by any means. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue918368> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
