The presence of newline or tab characters in parts of a URL allows for some
forms of attacks. Following the WHATWG specification that updates :rfc:`3986`,
ASCII newline ``\n``, ``\r`` and tab ``\t`` characters are stripped from the
URL by the parser in :mod:`urllib.parse` preventing such attacks. The removal
characters are controlled by a new module level variable
``urllib.parse._UNSAFE_URL_BYTES_TO_REMOVE``. (See :issue:`43882`)
