Summary: urllib2 http auth

Initial Comment:
Hi.  I'd like it if urllib2 could use the
https://user:password@host:port/ for HTTP Basic
Authentication.  

Just for the record, my reason for wanting this is that
RedHat's up2date depends on urllib2, and I want to use
an authenticated up2date repository.  This may not be
the world's greatest way of achieving this end, but it
seemed to me to be the simplest and most resuable.
