CherryPy contains a bug which causes devappserver2 to fail on URI paths which contain ://

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a catch-all handler for your app.
2. Start devappserver2
3. Navigate to http://localhost:8000/http://www.google.com
4. See stack trace in logs.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the request to succeed.
Instead, I see a 500 error and the following stack trace:

ValueError('need more than 1 value to unpack',)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/tyler/optimizely/out/gae-1.8.8/lib/cherrypy/cherrypy/wsgiserver/wsgiserver2.py", line 1292, in communicate

    authority, path = remainder.split(FORWARD_SLASH, 1)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Whichever version of devappserver2 is included in the GAE SDK 1.8.8.

Please provide any additional information below.

I've already filed a bug with CherryPy here:

old_dev_appserver.py can be used until this is resolved.

Now that old_dev_appserver.py has been fully deprecated and removed from the 
SDK, this is even more important to get resolved.
