HTTPClient follows HTTP Spec for requests and responses. When it is used, the request is on the PATH and the code there checks if the path does not exist does a request on '/'. It is not appropriate to pass Invalid URLS to httpclient the Invalid url handling and corrections to that are handled at the much higher level. That's why I made those changes in urllib. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4493> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
