Summary: urllib2.py: fix behavior with proxies

Initial Comment:
The following patch against Python 2.1 fixes some
problems with the
urllib2 module when used with proxies; in particular, if
$http_proxy="http://user:passwd@host:port/" is used. 
It also
generates the correct Host header for proxy requests
(some proxies,
such as oops, get confused otherwise, despite RFC 2616
section 5.2
which says they are to ignore it in the case of a full
URL on the
request line).

I want to take a look at this....I'm not thrilled about the
patch, especially solving two unrelated
problems and all, but I do think there's a real problem, and
I'll try to fix it.
