Comment (by swissspidy):

 > Why would the `CURLOPT_URL` be the same as the `CURLOPT_REFERER`?

 I don't know why it was set that way. It has been like this in Requests
 ever since, see
 https://github.com/rmccue/Requests/commit/78d4f3c117642445cf729a7eaaaa87d8d3897fd6.

 There's an [https://github.com/rmccue/Requests/issues/232 open issue on
 GitHub], so maybe @rmccue can chime in.
