test_urllib2.HandlerTests.test_redirect_no_path fails when proxy environment variables are set

Bug report

Bug description:

Running:

./python -m unittest test.test_urllib2.HandlerTests.test_redirect_no_path

can fail in environments where proxy-related variables are set (http_proxy, https_proxy, etc.).

The test output shows below:

FAILED (failures=1)

Expected behavior
This test should validate relative redirect behavior (Location: ?query) independently of external shell/network configuration. It should pass regardless of whether proxy env vars are present.

Root cause
urllib.request.urlopen() honors proxy settings from environment variables.
When proxying is enabled, the HTTP request target format changes to absolute-form, which does not match this test’s path-only assertion.

Proposed fix
Make the test environment-independent by clearing proxy-related environment variables inside test_redirect_no_path using EnvironmentVarGuard (both lower/upper case variants, plus no_proxy/NO_PROXY).

Why proxy configuration matters when running tests
Some environments (corporate/campus networks, CI runners) require proxy settings for outbound connectivity; without them, networked tests may fail due to connection/timeouts.
However, logic-focused unit tests should not depend on external proxy state, so they should explicitly isolate themselves from proxy env effects.

Commencez dans Lib/test/test_urllib2.py, à HandlerTests.test_redirect_no_path, et examinez comment le test utilise EnvironmentVarGuard. Exécutez ./python -m unittest test.test_urllib2.HandlerTests.test_redirect_no_path avec les variables de proxy définies puis non définies. Le travail est terminé lorsque le test valide la redirection relative et réussit indépendamment des paramètres de l’environnement du proxy.
