[New-bugs-announce] [issue18119] urllib.FancyURLopener does not treat URL fragments correctly

[Shuhei Takahashi]

New submission from Shuhei Takahashi:

When urllib.FancyURLopener encounters 302 redirection to a URL with fragments, it sends wrong URL to servers.

For example, if we run:
  urllib.urlopen('http://example.com/foo')
and the server responds like following.
  HTTP/1.1 302 Found
  Location: /bar#test
Then urllib tries next to fetch http://example.com/bar#test, instead of http://example.com/bar.

Correctly, urllib should strip fragment part of URL before issuing requests.
