Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: urllib2 doesn't handle urls without a scheme Initial Comment: Unlike urllib, urllib2 does not handle "/path/to/file" style urls (without a scheme) as "file:" urls. I'm not sure whether this is a bug per se, but if this behaviour is by design then urllib2 should get a pathname2url() method that changes a pathname to a "file:"-prefixed url. urllib.pathname2url() does not prefix the url, but that's fine because urllib.urlopen() treats urls without schemes as file: urls. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1097834&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
