Message 393576 - Python tracker
@op368 as far as I can see, regarding of any miss interpretation, yes, the RFC has this section:
"http:g" = "http:g" ; for strict parsers
/ "http://a/b/c/g" ; for backward compatibility
What I can understand is that for "http:g" it will be translated to "http:///g" because of backward compatibility, this seems to be an edge case for the parser, since the RFC text also mention that this should be avoided.
