[New-bugs-announce] [issue23759] urllib.parse: make coap:// known

[chrysn]

New submission from chrysn:

The CoAP protocol (RFC 7252) registers the new URI schemes coap and coaps. They adhere to the generic RFC3986 rules, and use netloc and relative URIs.

Therefore, please add the 'coap' and 'coaps' schemes to the uses_relative and uses_netloc lists in urllib.parse.

I'm not sure about uses_params; the CoAP protocol in itself does not do anything special with the ';' character in URIs, so probably it should not be included there. (But then again, neither does RFC2616 mention ";" in the context of addresses, and it is included in uses_params).
