[issue23328] urllib2 fails for proxy credentials that contain a '/' character

[Andy Reitz]

Andy Reitz added the comment:

Sure, but the question is who should do the encoding -- the user, or python? I think it would be better for python to read the password from the environment variable, and encode it before using it. I think this is what users expect.
