[New-bugs-announce] [issue17483] In urlopen the check_hostname variable can never be False.

[Daniel Wozniak]

New submission from Daniel Wozniak:

In the urllib.request.urlopen on line 154 the code path that sets check_hostname to False will never run. I'm not sure what the desired behavior is. If we want to have a way to tell urlopen not to check the hostname for https connections it looks as though there needs to be some re-factoring.
