Re: urllib interpretation of URL with ".."

John Nagle wrote:

In Python, of course, "urlparse.urlparse", which is
the main function used to disassemble a URL, has no idea whether it's
being used by a client or a server, so it, reasonably enough, takes option
1.

import urlparse
base="http://somesite.com/level1/";
path="../page.html"
urlparse.urljoin(base,path)
'http://somesite.com/page.html'
base="http://somesite.com/";
urlparse.urljoin(base,path)
'http://somesite.com/../page.html'

For me this is a bug and is very annoying because I can't simply trip ../
from path because base could have a level.
