Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Matthias Klose (doko) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: urllib2 should be more robust for sloppy proxy URLs

Initial Comment: passing an URL like "foo.bar.baz" instead of "http://foo.bar.baz" results in a stacktrace:

File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib2.py", line 326, in open &#039;_open&#039;, req) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib2.py", line 306, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib2.py", line 491, in <lambda> lambda r, proxy=url, type=type, meth=self.proxy_open: File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib2.py", line 498, in proxy_open if &#039;@&#039; in host: TypeError: iterable argument required

This could be fixed by calling urlparse.urlparse on the proxy url, either in the calling code or in the library code, which I would prefer to make it more robust about sloppy URLs passed in the http_proxy environment variable.

I've put together a patch, which can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/233305; it isn't perfect (ideally the entire routine should be rewritten, as it's processing environment data that could be from the "wild"), but it avoids the traceback.

Ok, I see, PEP42 ...
