[New-bugs-announce] [issue40968] urllib is unable to deal with TURN server infront

[Paul Menzel]

New submission from Paul Menzel <pmenzel+bugs.python.org at molgen.mpg.de>:

Having the TURN server Coturn [1] set up in a Jitsi Meet installation, Python’s urllib requests fail, while it works with cURL and browsers.

```
$ curl -I https://jitsi.molgen.mpg.de
HTTP/2 200 
server: nginx/1.14.2
date: Sat, 13 Jun 2020 11:09:19 GMT
content-type: text/html
vary: Accept-Encoding
strict-transport-security: max-age=63072000

```

```
>>> import urllib.request
>>> response = urllib.request.urlopen('https://jitsi.molgen.mpg.de')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/urllib/request.py", line 222, in urlopen
    return opener.open(url, data, timeout)

    response = self._open(req, data)

  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/urllib/request.py", line 1354, in do_open
    r = h.getresponse()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 1332, in getresponse
    response.begin()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 303, in begin
    version, status, reason = self._read_status()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 272, in _read_status
    raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without"
http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response
