[issue2464] urllib2 can't handle http://www.wikispaces.com

Senthil:

Look at that URL that the server returned in the second redirect:

http://www.wikispaces.com?responseToken=ee3fca88a9b0dc865152d8a9e5b6138d

See that the "?" appears without a path between the host and it.

Check the item 3.2.2 in the RFC 2616, it says that a HTTP URL should be:

  http_URL = "http:" "//" host [ ":" port ] [ abs_path [ "?" query ]]

So, we should fix that URL that the server returned. Guess what: if we
put a "/" (as obligates the RFC), everything works ok.

The patch I attach here does that. All tests pass ok.

What do you think?
