Summary: urllib handles proxy badly

Details: The following gives "host not found" when a proxy server is in use:

    import urllib
    w=urllib.urlopen("http://www.pythonlabs.com")

The host name is changed to "http=PROXYSERVER" and fails

This works under Python 1.5.2, but fails under Python 2.0b1
