[issue5072] urllib.open sends full URL after GET command instead of local path

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

I suppose 172.18.2.7:3128 is the address:port of the your proxy, right?
In which case, urllib seems to do the right thing. When talking to an
HTTP proxy, requests are of the form "GET http://site.com/path", rather
than "GET /path". It's up to the proxy to strip the host part of the URL
when forwarding the request to the target server.

(but I suppose tracd could also be more permissive and allow the "GET
http://site.com/path" variant. It seems Apache does)
