bpo-46756: Fix authorization check in urllib.request (GH-31353) (GH-31572)
Fix a bug in urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password() and urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.is_authenticated() which allowed to bypass authorization. For example, access to URI "example.org/foobar" was allowed if the user was authorized for URI "example.org/foo". (cherry picked from commit e2e72567a1c94c548868f6ee5329363e6036057a) Co-authored-by: Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka@gmail.com>
