[New-bugs-announce] [issue10671] urllib2 redirect to another host doesn't work

[Kirill Subbotin]

New submission from Kirill Subbotin <kirrax at gmail.com>:

When you open url which redirects to another host (either with 301 or 302), HTTPRedirectHandler keeps "Host" header from the previous request, which leads to a error. Instead a host should be taken from a new location url.

Attached patch is tested with Python 2.6.5.
