Summary: urllib2 HTTPPasswordMgr: default ports
Initial Comment:
urllib2 HTTPPasswordMgr had support for ports added
during 2.5 development, but that code doesn't know
about the default HTTP / HTTPS ports. As a result, for
example, a fetch of "https://example.com:443"
301-redirected to "https://example.com/" (as a local
Apache server did on my linux box) will fail unless you
register both "example.com:443" and "example.com" with
the HTTPPasswordMgr. I'd call that a bug.
The patch adds a new test and takes care not to break
the case where old code calls add_password for
example.com and then find_user_password is called for
example.com (with no explicit port).
The patch also comments out one test which was testing
something not actually guaranteed by the code at all --
it was passing by fluke. The code it's trying to test
could do with some review, which is why I left this
test commented out rather than deleting the test (but
that is a long-standing issue unrelated to this patch,
so should not block this patch from being applied).

Assigning to Georg since he added the default port support.
(Actually, the support for ports added during 2.5
development was specifically for proxies IIRC: ordinary
(non-proxy) Basic Auth for URLs with a port did work prior
to 2.5, I think. Still, this patch is backwards-compatible.)
