Adds support for IPv6 zone identifiers (scope IDs) in URLs, enabling correct handling of link-local IPv6 addresses such as http://[fe80::1%25eth0]:8080/.

Changes:

  • adapters.py: Add _has_ipv6_zone_id() helper with precompiled regex (_IPV6_ZONE_ID_RE) to detect zone IDs in the URL authority section. Update _urllib3_request_context() to use urllib3's parse_url() for zone ID URLs and urlparse() for all others, preserving backward compatibility. The poolmanager parameter is kept as an optional default-None argument to avoid breaking subclass callers.
  • models.py: Add zone ID re-encoding logic in prepare_url() with three precompiled patterns (_AUTHORITY_BRACKET_RE, _RFC6874_ZONE_ID_RE, _RAW_ZONE_ID_RE). Reconstructs the bracketed host from the original URL to prevent parse_url's %25->% decoding from creating ambiguous percent sequences downstream (e.g. %2550 -> %50 on Python 3.14).
  • tests/test_adapters.py: Comprehensive test coverage including zone ID detection (38 parametrized cases), URL parsing (15 cases), and integration tests covering pool key generation, client certificates, full mocked request flow, encoding equivalence, URL preparation preservation, request_url() path extraction, and proxy code path.

Fixes psf#6927, psf#6735, psf#7088.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds IPv6 zone‑ID detection and handling: adapters now detect zone IDs and switch parsing to urllib3.parse_url when present; PreparedRequest preserves or re-encodes zone delimiters during URL preparation; tests added to cover detection, parsing, pool key selection, proxy and cert propagation, and edge cases.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Adapters (parsing switch)
src/requests/adapters.py
Added _IPV6_ZONE_ID_RE and _has_ipv6_zone_id; _urllib3_request_context() and HTTPAdapter.request_url() now use urllib3.util.parse_url() for URLs with zone IDs (derive scheme/port and bracket-stripped host) and fall back to urlparse() otherwise.
Request preparation (zone‑ID encoding)
src/requests/models.py
Introduced regexes to detect bracketed authority and RFC6874/raw % delimiters; PreparedRequest.prepare_url re-parses original bracket contents to preserve RFC6874 %25 or re-encode raw % into %25 before IDNA/validation and final requote.
Tests (comprehensive IPv6 zone coverage)
tests/test_adapters.py
Added parametrized tests for _has_ipv6_zone_id, pool key attributes (scheme/host/port), connection selection including proxy paths, client-cert propagation, preservation/encoding of %25 and raw % cases, and Python-version-specific behavior.

Comment thread src/requests/adapters.py
Updates the HTTPAdapter to use parse_url() for URLs with IPv6 zone IDs, ensuring proper scheme detection. This change maintains compatibility with existing URL parsing logic for non-zone ID URLs.

No functional changes to proxy handling were introduced. This adjustment enhances the robustness of the adapter in handling diverse URL formats.

117-122: 🛠️ Refactor suggestion | 🟠 Major

Keep poolmanager optional if it is only a compatibility placeholder.

poolmanager is still required and still unused, so callers have to pass a value for no effect. Making it default to None (or renaming it to _poolmanager) preserves the intended compatibility story and avoids the unused-argument churn.

numeric IDs like %1 or %12 fall through; update the pattern in _IPV6_ZONE_ID_RE
to allow a single alphanumeric start (including digits) and allow zero-or-more
of the subsequent allowed chars while preserving the %(?![0-9A-Fa-f]{2})
negative lookahead; e.g. replace the segment
r"|%(?![0-9A-Fa-f]{2})[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_.\-]+" with
r"|%(?![0-9A-Fa-f]{2})[0-9A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_.\-]*" so numeric scope IDs like %1
and %12 are matched by the raw zone-ID branch.

This commit modifies the regular expressions used for matching raw zone IDs in both adapters.py and models.py to allow for numeric characters in the initial position. Additionally, it enhances test coverage for single-digit numeric zone indices in test_adapters.py, ensuring accurate detection and parsing of various IPv6 zone ID formats.

606-607: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

The proxied HTTP path still falls back to stdlib URL parsing.

This branch now handles zone IDs for scheme, but proxied HTTP requests still pass request.url into urldefragauth(). If src/requests/utils.py::urldefragauth is still based on urlparse(), %25... zone-ID URLs will keep failing on the proxy send path even after _has_ipv6_zone_id() succeeds here.

#!/bin/bash
set -e

printf '%s\n' '--- request_url() proxy branch ---'
sed -n '590,609p' src/requests/adapters.py

printf '\n%s\n' '--- urldefragauth() implementation ---'
rg -n -C3 'def urldefragauth|urlparse|urlunparse' src/requests/utils.py

Expected result: urldefragauth() still reparses with stdlib urlparse(), so the proxy branch is not yet using the same zone-ID-safe parsing strategy as _urllib3_request_context().

Keep poolmanager optional here, as advertised.

Line 121 still makes poolmanager required even though this helper never reads it. That reintroduces the signature churn the PR summary explicitly says it avoids, and Ruff will still report the unused argument.

the host-reconstruction logic in the block that uses _AUTHORITY_BRACKET_RE,
_RFC6874_ZONE_ID_RE and _RAW_ZONE_ID_RE so the zone-id part preserves existing
%XX escapes while only converting literal/raw percent delimiters to %25. In
practice, when building host (the variable used by prepare_url()/prepare()),
treat any '%' that is already followed by two hex digits as an existing
percent-encoding and leave it alone, and only replace literal '%' delimiters (or
'%' not followed by two hex digits) with '%25' (for the legacy raw % case
re-encode as %25<zone>). Ensure this reconstructed host is used before
requote_uri()/urlparse() so Python stdlib validation sees the correctly-encoded
%25 delimiter without producing double-encoded sequences.

# Mitigation for RFC 6874: parse_url incorrectly decodes zone ID delimiter (%25 -> %)
# We reconstruct the host with the correct, fully-encoded delimiter to prevent
# downstream errors (like ipaddress validation or incorrect connection arguments).
#
# Matching on the parse_url-decoded host is ambiguous because parse_url decodes
# %25 -> % and then the resulting %XX may look like a valid percent-encoding
# (e.g. %2550 becomes %50 which resembles percent-encoded 'P'). Instead we
# extract the bracket content from the ORIGINAL url (before any decoding) and
# match there. Two input forms are handled:
#
# 1. RFC 6874 encoded form (%25 delimiter): the original bracket contains %25
# followed by one or more ZoneID unreserved chars ([A-Za-z0-9_.\-~]) or
# pct-encoded octets (%XX). Examples: [fe80::1%25eth0], [fe80::1%255],
# [fe80::1%25_foo]. The matched segment is placed verbatim into host.
#
# 2. Raw % delimiter (legacy/non-standard): a literal % that is NOT a valid
# %XX percent-encoding, followed by a letter then more identifier chars.
# Examples: [fe80::1%eth0], [fe80::1%wlan0]. Re-encoded as %25<zone_name>.
#
# This avoids false-positive re-encoding of legitimate %XX sequences (e.g. %20,
# %AB) that should never be treated as zone ID delimiters.

Zone ID URLs with percent-encoded characters fail on Python 3.14+ during prepare()prepare_cookies().

The prepare_url() mitigation correctly reconstructs the zone ID host, but requote_uri() double-encodes embedded %XX sequences in the zone name (e.g., %203 becomes %25203). When prepare_cookies() calls urlparse(), Python 3.14+ validates the bracketed netloc via ipaddress.ip_address(), which splits on the first % and rejects scope IDs containing unescaped % bytes. This is documented in test_ipv6_zone_id_with_percent_encoded_name(), which conditionally expects InvalidURL exceptions on Python 3.14+ while handling it gracefully on earlier versions. The adapter path works correctly (does not use stdlib urlparse), but the full Request.prepare() flow fails for zone names like Ethernet%203 on affected Python versions.

In `@src/requests/models.py` around lines 448 - 482, prepare()/prepare_cookies()
fails on Python 3.14+ because requote_uri() double-encodes %XX sequences inside
a reconstructed zone ID; fix the host-reconstruction logic in the block that
uses _AUTHORITY_BRACKET_RE, _RFC6874_ZONE_ID_RE and _RAW_ZONE_ID_RE so the
zone-id part preserves existing %XX escapes while only converting literal/raw
percent delimiters to %25. In practice, when building host (the variable used by
prepare_url()/prepare()), treat any '%' that is already followed by two hex
digits as an existing percent-encoding and leave it alone, and only replace
literal '%' delimiters (or '%' not followed by two hex digits) with '%25' (for
the legacy raw % case re-encode as %25<zone>). Ensure this reconstructed host is
used before requote_uri()/urlparse() so Python stdlib validation sees the
correctly-encoded %25 delimiter without producing double-encoded sequences.
