Wes, I forgot to address your last comment. 

HTTPClient follows HTTP Spec for requests and responses. When it is used, the 
request is on the PATH and the code there checks if the path does not exist 
does a request on '/'. It is not appropriate to pass Invalid URLS to httpclient 
the Invalid url handling and corrections to that are handled at the much higher 
level. That's why I made those changes in urllib.
