Try connecting to HTTPS on schemaless URLs #124

Closed

Description

@sethmlarson

urllib3's behavior with schemaless URLs was to connect via http. Maybe we can have some logic that if we have verify=True active and we receive a schemaless URL either from a user or a redirect we try https first before falling back on http? Would have to be implemented within the connection retry logic.
