Having said this, Andrew did demonstrate quite convincingly that the current urljoin has some fairly egregious directory traversal glitches. Is it really right to punt obvious gotchas like

>>>urlparse.urljoin("http://blah.com/a/b/c", "../../../../") 'http://blah.com/../../' >>> to the server?

See Paul Jimenez's thread about replacing urlparse with something better. The current module has some serious issues :)

Cheers, Nick.
