test!: Path `////path` causing failures

[faretek1]

The path ////path is causing issues with most of the test fixtures.

https://github.com/gruns/furl/blob/f53defbf075e6f31c5b910aefb4221abe5b937cf/tests/test_furl.py#L1627C28-L1631C29

This is caused by the output of f.url == '//////path' instead of '////path'. This may be due to a change in the urllib library, but I am not sure.

The output of calling urllib.parse.unparse here:
https://github.com/gruns/furl/blob/f53defbf075e6f31c5b910aefb4221abe5b937cf/furl/furl.py#L1826C9-L1832C11

actually generates the expected number of slashes:

However, because of this code, an extra 2 slashes are prepended, causing the output of f.url to be invalid.

Note

This issue does not appear on python 3.8, but appears on all other tests, so this could be a problem caused by a change in the standard library, in which case, other functionality may need reviewing

Confirming I see this on my end; addressing as I work on merging #178.

Woah, looks like there's been a change of maintainers! Props to you for keeping furl alive!
