Senthil Kumaran <orsent...@gmail.com> added the comment: The bug here seems to me that urllib.urlopen() should not allow a relative file path like the one specified. f='./rel/path/to/file.html urllib2's behavior seems proper that it is raising an Exception.
According to the RFCs the local files are to be acceessed by: file://localhost/path/to/file file:///path/to/file Both are absolute paths to the file where in the second one localhost is omitted. Let me see if urllib's urlopen be made a little stricter. ---------- assignee: -> orsenthil nosy: +orsenthil _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6631> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
