Python urllib bugs roundup

From the previous post of bugs round up, finished activities (bugs which are closed now) include:

* http://bugs.python.org/issue1432 - Strange Behaviour of urlparse.urljoin
* http://bugs.python.org/issue2275 - urllib2 header capitalization.
* http://bugs.python.org/issue2916 - urlgrabber.grabber calls setdefaulttimeout
* http://bugs.python.org/issue2195 - urlparse() does not handle URLs with port numbers properly. - Duplicate issue.
* http://bugs.python.org/issue2829 - Copy cgi.parse_qs() to urllib.parse - Duplicate of issue600362.
* http://bugs.python.org/issue2885 - Create the urllib package. (but the tests are still named test_urllib2, test_urlparse etc. I shall discuss with py-dev if names changes in tests is okay before beta3 and give a attempt).

Activities TODO:

High- Priority:

Now, the list of bugs which are partially completed and requires addressing of some issues mentioned in the patches.These would take up some higher priority, as addressing would result in closure sooner.

* http://bugs.python.org/issue600362 - relocate cgi.parse_qs() into urlparse
* http://bugs.python.org/issue2776 - urllib2.urlopen() gets confused with path with // in it
* http://bugs.python.org/issue2756 - urllib2 add_header fails with existing unredirected_header Patch attached.
* http://bugs.python.org/issue2464 - urllib2 can't handle http://www.wikispaces.com

Plan:
I shall attempt to address all these issues before the release of Beta3 (That should be either on August 15 / August 23)

The following were some of the main issues to be taken up during G-SOC.
I see that as I have understood RFC 3986 better, I can work on issue1591035. I shall work on it on the branch and then discuss for inclusion in the trunk.


Feature Requests:

* http://bugs.python.org/issue1591035 - update urlparse to RFC 3986.Plan: By August 23.
* http://bugs.python.org/issue1462525 - URI parsing library - This will depend upon the previous issue, so we can assume Aug 23 for closure.
* http://bugs.python.org/issue2987 - RFC2732 support for urlparse (e.g. http://[::1]:80/) This is related bug again and will conclude by the same time-line.


I shall take up the following listed bugs after completion of the above.

* http://bugs.python.org/issue1448934 - urllib2+https+proxy not working.
* http://bugs.python.org/issue1424152 - urllib/urllib2: HTTPS over (Squid) Proxy fails
* http://bugs.python.org/issue1675455 - Use getaddrinfo() in urllib2.py for IPv6 support. Patch provided.

Low priority.
* http://bugs.python.org/issue1285086 - urllib.quote is too slow
