Python Requests InvalidURL: Failed to parse URL-CodePudding

thanks you very much. it has a "\u200b" follow the .com. "\u200b" is an invisable character. the reason is i copy the url from the website.

but something interesting i found: if i use pip install requests==2.21.0(old version), it will not except this err. only use new version it will err.

InvalidURL: Failed to parse URL, some url will except this error while some other url wouldn't.

already upgrade urllib3 and requests

err

There's a typo, or invalid invisible character in your url. please copy from my code:

url='https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=samplekey'
