New submission from Petter S <petter.strandm...@gmail.com>:
The following code crashes with TypeError:
URLopener().open("unknown_proxy://test")
the expected behavior is an OSError, which is normally raised for unknown
protocols.
This implementation of directly calling a method called "unknown_proxy" is
fragile and was recently the subject of a security issue:
https://bugs.python.org/issue35907 (CVE-2019-9948)
Would be good to make this more robust.
