Recent versions of py27 [1] have begun raising InvalidURL if you try to
include non-ASCII characters in the request path. This was observed
recently in the periodic checks of stable/ocata and stable/pike. In
particular, we would spin up some in-process servers in
test.unit.proxy.test_server.TestSocketObjectVersions and do a container
listing with a prefix param that included raw (unquoted) UTF-8. This
query string would pass unmolested through the proxy, tripping the
InvalidURL error when bufferedhttp called putrequest.
More recent versions of Swift would not exhibit this particular failure,
as the listing_formats middleware would force a decoding/re-encoding of
the query string for account and container requests. However, object
requests with errant query strings would likely be able to trip the same
error.
Swift on py3 should not exhibit this behavior, as we so
thoroughly re-write the request line to avoid hitting
https://bugs.python.org/issue33973.
Now, always parse and re-encode the query string in bufferedhttp. This
prevents any errors on object requests and cleans up any callers that
might use bufferedhttp directly.
