[issue17483] In urlopen the check_hostname variable can never be False.

[Daniel Wozniak]

New submission from Daniel Wozniak:

In the urllib.request.urlopen on line 154 the code path that sets 
check_hostname to False will never run. I'm not sure what the desired behavior 
is. If we want to have a way to tell urlopen not to check the hostname for 
https connections it looks as though there needs to be some re-factoring.

[issue17483] In urlopen the check_hostname variable can never be False.

Jeff Knupp added the comment:

Was this discovered when you were trying to tell urlopen not to check the 
hostname for https connections? If so, that should be reflected in the title 
so others know what the observable effect is. Referencing specific variables is 
less useful both for searching later and because the fix may not touch that 
part at all (as you alluded to, it may require refactoring).
