Buck Golemon <buck.gole...@amd.com> added the comment: Let's examine x://
absolute-URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] hier-part = "//" authority path-abempty So this is okay if authority and path-abempty can both be empty strings. authority = [ userinfo "@" ] host [ ":" port ] host = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name reg-name = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims ) path-abempty = *( "/" segment ) Yep. And the same applies for x:///y, except that path-abempty matches /y instead of nothing. This means these are in fact valid urls per RFC3986, counter to your claim. ---------- nosy: +bukzor _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15009> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
