ANN: http Tutorials (urllib2 and Basic Authentication)

[Fuzzyman]

*NEW* http Tutorials

Two new tutorials on http related subjects with Python.

(1) A tutorial on using urllib2. It covers fetching URLs, coping with
errors, and using handlers and openers. It should be useful to anyone
new to using urllib2.

(2) A tutorial on BASIC authentication with Python. It first
illustrates how BASIC authentication works - manually encoding the
username/password into the request. Next we show the *proper* way to do
it - with password manager, handler, and opener; a subject which has
been known to confuse even intermediate level Python Programmers.
