urllib is a high level API on top of http.client. It wraps and uses http.client internally. urllib does not accept invalid protocol identifiers either: >>> urllib.request.urlopen('http://localhost:8080') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/urllib/request.py", line 222, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/urllib/request.py", line 525, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/urllib/request.py", line 542, in _open result = self._call_chain(self.handle_open, protocol, protocol + File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/urllib/request.py", line 502, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/urllib/request.py", line 1379, in http_open return self.do_open(http.client.HTTPConnection, req) File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/urllib/request.py", line 1354, in do_open r = h.getresponse() File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/http/client.py", line 1347, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/http/client.py", line 307, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/http/client.py", line 289, in _read_status raise BadStatusLine(line) http.client.BadStatusLine: Http/1.1 200 OK curl is more forgiving but does not recognize "Http/1.1" as a valid HTTP/1.1 header either.
