[New-bugs-announce] [issue41124] String with encode causing addition of 'b' in the beginning

[Srinivas Sampath]

New submission from Srinivas Sampath <srinivas.1973 at gmail.com>:

I am trying to run the attached code.  when hard-coding the string in the URL and doing .encode, then the code works.  However since i am requesting user input, i cannot hard-code and the code seem to add the 'b' character in the beginning causing the request to fail with output like this

Enter Hostname    :
hostname cannot be empty
Enter Port Number :
before invokingGET http://psglx73:24670/coreservices/DomainService HTTP/1.1


after encode
b'GET http://psglx73:24670/coreservices/DomainService HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n'
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2020 05:06:21 GMT
Connection: close
Server: Informatica

i cannot pass without .encode to the socket communication.  is this reported problem ?
