Host is empty about furl HOT 3 CLOSED

Yep, this is expected behavior: new.rambler.ru is a perfectly valid path, too,
e.g. http://google.com/new.rambler.ru. It's ambiguous.

furl defaults to adopt that string as the path. This is the default behavior of
Python's urlparse(), too.

>>> from urlparse import urlparse
>>> urlparse('new.rambler.ru')
ParseResult(scheme='', netloc='', path='new.rambler.ru', params='', query='', fragment='')

To instruct furl to adopt new.rambler.ru as the host, not the path, you can
explicitly set the host

>>> from furl import furl
>>> f = furl().set(host='new.rambler.ru')
>>> f.host
'new.rambler.ru'

or provide a scheme so furl knows that new.rambler.ru is a host, not a path.

>>> from furl import furl
>>> f = furl('http://new.rambler.ru')
>>> f.host
'new.rambler.ru'

Does that answer your question?
