urljoin does not produce the same output if the base URL does not
have a trailing slash.
>>> from urllib.parse import urljoin >>> urljoin("https://git.example.org/repo", "info/refs") 'https://git.example.org/info/refs' >>> urljoin("https://git.example.org/repo/", "info/refs") 'https://git.example.org/repo/info/refs'
So ensure the base URL ends with a slash to avoid generating invalid
URLs and make loading failed.
