I had an HTTP redirection that worked perfectly on version 3.1.

On version 3.2, I get a HTTP error 302. In this redirection, I actually have 2 redirections. The last one does not work because it is a relative redirection, so urlparts.scheme is empty.

Some lines have been added in version 3.2 for security reason, but it also blocks relative links in 302 return.

To correct, I have added empty scheme in check:
        if not urlparts.scheme in ('http', 'https', 'ftp', ''):

With that, it works correctly.
I don't make you any for 3 new chars. ;)

CRicky's proposed changed looks reasonable to me - although it would be better with a unit test too :)

(This is in reference to issue 11662.)

I can't think of a way that this proposed change would bring back the original vulnerability, so go ahead.

Here is the patch against 3.2. Something is wrong with the mercurial at the moment where 3.2 is shown as inactive. Once that is corrected, I shall commit and push this to 3.2 and cpython codelines.

This bug is not present in 2.7 as different logic is followed in there.
