[New-bugs-announce] [issue14132] Redirect is not working correctly in urllib2

[Ján Janech]

New submission from Ján Janech <janech at kios.sk>:

When only the query string is sent by the server as the redirect url, urllib2 redirects to incorrect address.

Error is occuring on the page http://kniznica.uniza.sk/opac. Server sends only the query string part of the uri in the Location header (ie. ?fs=04D07295D4434730A51C95A9F1727373&fn=main). Path is then incorrectly stripped from the original url, and urllib2 redirects to http://kniznica.uniza.sk/?fs=04D07295D4434730A51C95A9F1727373&fn=main.

The error was introduced in the fix of the issue #2464. I think, the attached patch is fixing the error (it is working for me).
