Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1411

from urllib.parse import urljoin
print(urljoin('https://web.archive.org/http://www.example.com/a/b.html',
              'c.html')
      )
#result is 'https://web.archive.org/http:/www.example.com/a/c.html'

the change from "http://" to 'http:/' in the sub url is not what I expected.
This bug stem from the filter statement from urljoin:

And simpily comment out the filter statement return a proper result in this case.

Woah good find, it looks like it's an old known issue in the cpython source:

https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/84774#issuecomment-2076080928

while digging I found out urljoin actually has many unfortunate problems:

different behavior depending on scheme: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/63028
no support for non-standard schemes: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/110463
incorrect handling of relative paths e.g. ../: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/96015
poor arg type enforcement: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/63293
incorrect handling of ? empty query param: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/76960
incorrect handling of # empty search param: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/83980
other RFC compliance issues: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/43453

I wish we could use JS's new URL(part, base) behavior instead:
