[issue17483] In urlopen the check_hostname variable can never be False.

[Jeff Knupp]

Jeff Knupp added the comment:

Was this discovered when you were trying "to tell urlopen not to check the hostname for https connections?" If so, that should be reflected in the title so others know what the observable effect is. Referencing specific variables is less useful both for searching later and because the fix may not touch that part at all (as you alluded to, it may require refactoring).
