urlparse requires that the url contain a "/"
so that
urlparse("http://foo.com?q=a#blah")
results in
("http","foo.com?q=a#blah",....)

urlparse should not require slashes in urls that have fragments or query
strings.

RFC2396, not RFC1738 is the latest RFC for URI/URL 
defintions.

Message:
RFC 1738, section 3.3, discusses the syntax for HTTP URLs.  It implies that the "/" between the is required if either the path of searchpart of the URL is provided, but is not completely clear.

I don't see anything relevant in RFC 1945 (HTTP 1.0), but RFC 2616 (HTTP 1.1), section 3.2.2 clearly indicates that the search part should only exist as a part of the path component, which is required to include the leading "/".

There is some confusion as to how this should relate to parsing of relative URLs (RFC 1808).  This bug can be re-opened if there's evidence urlparse is actually wrong or inconsistent with other URL parsers.

Assigned to me so I can deal with urlparse all at once.
