[issue42062] Usage of HTTPResponse.url

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter <vadmium+py at gmail.com> added the comment:

There is a comment in the HTTPResponse class regarding these methods:

# For compatibility with old-style urllib responses.

They were there for the "urlopen" API in "urllib.request", not for the "http.client" module on its own. I expect the "url" attribute is set by the "urlopen" code.

However more recently (Issue 12707) the "url" attribute and "geturl" method were documented in the HTTPResponse documentation, which is awkward.
