parsing of proxy url broken with requests 2.27.0

[anneFly]

It seems like this change #5917 unfortunately broke production for us.

We are using a proxy url that follows this scheme: http://randomstring:[email protected]:9293 (from a service that provides static IPs)

Expected Result

In 2.26.0 this still works:

>>> from requests.utils import prepend_scheme_if_needed
>>> prepend_scheme_if_needed('http://randomstring:[email protected]:9293', 'http')
'http://randomstring:[email protected]:9293'

Actual Result

In 2.27.0 it's broken:

>>> from requests.utils import prepend_scheme_if_needed
>>> prepend_scheme_if_needed('http://randomstring:[email protected]:9293', 'http')
'http://eu-west-static-04.example.com:9293'

This leads in the end to ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 407 Proxy Authentication Required'))) because the url was cut.

Reproduction Steps

>>> from requests.utils import prepend_scheme_if_needed
>>> prepend_scheme_if_needed('http://randomstring:[email protected]:9293', 'http')

Hi, @anneFly. Thanks for the report! This is actually a duplicate of #6027 which has been patched in #6028 and will be released sometime today. You can track status in #6029.
