Summary

Describe the bug

When using uv==0.7.17, installing packages with a requirements.txt file that specifies a custom --find-links URL fails with a timeout error. This issue does not occur in uv==0.7.16.

It appears that uv 0.7.17 does not handle the trailing slash in the --find-links URL correctly, resulting in failed requests.

To Reproduce

requirements.txt:

--find-links https://example.com/fileserver/packages/
custom-package==1.0.4

Command:

uv pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt

Result:

error: Failed to read `--find-links` URL: https://example.com/fileserver/packages
  Caused by: Failed to fetch: `https://example.com/fileserver/packages`
  Caused by: Request failed after 3 retries
  Caused by: error sending request for url (http://example.com/fileserver/packages)
  Caused by: operation timed out

Expected behavior

Packages should be installed successfully using the custom find-links repository.

Additional context

• The same command and requirements file work correctly in uv==0.7.16.
• The issue appears when the --find-links URL ends with a /.
• The URL is a private package repository (URL replaced with https://example.com/fileserver/packages/ for privacy).

Possible related

• Change in URL normalization or handling between 0.7.16 and 0.7.17.
