[issue38449] regression - mimetypes guess_type is confused by ; in the filename

[Kyle Meyer]

Kyle Meyer <kyle at kyleam.com> added the comment:

I've performed a bisect the issue with the following script:

    #!/bin/sh
    make -j3 || exit 125
    ./python <<\EOF || exit 1
    import sys
    import mimetypes
    res = mimetypes.MimeTypes(strict=False).guess_type(";1.tar.gz")
    if res[0] is None:
        sys.exit(1)
    EOF

That points to 87bd2071c7 (bpo-22347: Update mimetypes.guess_type to allow proper parsing of URLs (GH-15522), 2019-09-05).  That commit was included in 3.7.5rc1 when it was cherry picked by 8873bff287.
