Summary: HTTP basic authentication problem

Initial Comment:
The regular expression matching in the
AbstractBasicAuthHandler.http_error_auth_reqed()
function in the urllib2 module doesn't work if the
authorization string returned by the server contains
one or more words in front of 'Basic realm="..."'. The
patch changes the rx.match() to rx.search().
