Summary: urllib: open_https generates wrong Authorize header

Initial Comment:
When opening an https page which requires
authentication, the "Authorization" header is created
incorrectly by open_https(). open_http() uses the
correct method.

The fix is a simple one line change:

                  h.putrequest('GET', selector)
!             if auth: h.putheader('Authorization:
Basic %s' % auth)
              if realhost: h.putheader('Host', realhost)
              for args in self.addheaders:
apply(h.putheader, args)
              h.endheaders()
