    In Fiddler, you should have received a HTTP protocol warning noting that URLs require a trailing slash after the hostname (meaning, a non-empty path component). Per the HTTP specification, clients should be adding such a slash (Python apparently does not) and servers absolutely need to be treating such requests equivalently whether the slash is present or not.
