Senthil added the comment: Hi ocroquette,
Even though I have seen ftp sites requesting email addresses as user names, I would rather put this issue for discussion as this not per any RFC. urlparse is based upon RFC1808 and it points to RFC1738 for the URL Syntax. RFC1738 specifically says (line 225) that: The user name (and password), if present, are followed by a commercial at-sign "@". Within the user and password field, any ":", "@" or "/" must be encoded. >>> url = "ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@host/dir" >>> from urlparse import urlparse >>> p = urlparse(url) >>> print p.username user >>> print p.hostname [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> corr_url = "ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/dir" >>> q = urlparse(corr_url) >>> print q.username user%40xyz >>> print q.hostname host >>> So, it is upon the user/client to encode the @sign in the user name, if he has to be compliant with RFC. urlparse is not at fault here. What shall we do with this issue? ---------- nosy: +orsenthil __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1698> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
