[issue8818] urlsplit and urlparse add extra slash when using scheme
AdamN <adam@varud.com> added the comment: I appreciate what you're saying but nobody, I guarantee nobody, is using the '//cnn.com' semantics. Anyway, in RFC 3986 in the Syntax Components section, you'll see that the '://' is not part of scheme or netloc. I could imagine urlsplit() failing if the url was not prepended by '//' or 'scheme://', but why would being prepended with nothing cause urlsplit() to presume it's a path? Can we at least document this? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8818> _______________________________________
The module is documented as supporting "Relative Uniform Resource Locators", in which a value with a non-rooted path is supported using simply "non/rooted/path". See the third paragraph in the Python 2.6 documentation, starting "The module has been designed".
