[New-bugs-announce] [issue2195] urlparse()

[Gawain Bolton]

New submission from Gawain Bolton:

The urlparse() function in urlparse module does not handle URLs without 
an explicit scheme and with port numbers.

The following works as expected:
>>> urlparse.urlparse('foo.bar.com','http').scheme
'http'

But if the URL has a port number then the scheme is wrong:
>>> urlparse.urlparse('foo.bar.com:8080','http').scheme
'foo.bar.com'

I have read RFC 1808 and its description of the parsing of the scheme 
also has this bug.  From what I can figure, the parsing algorithm needs 
to search for the scheme before the substring "://" and not just ":".
