Yep, I created a bug report and a little patch.
I always hated it that the value of urlparse.ParseResult().port was
unpredictable, so i provided a patch that returns the default port for either
http or https.
Let's see if they will accept it.

If we will do something with C/C++ Bindings, i'm concerned about stuff like
that. In Python, it's just another exception that may appear, or may not
appear. Who cares. As you said: It's really rare, in w3af.
But with C/C++ bindings, there is zero tolerance for unpredictable data. That's
why i'm trying to figure out to catch such stuff.
Cheers,
Daniel
