Summary: urllib2 Request.get_host and proxies

Initial Comment:
I think the Request.get_host method should not return  
the host of the proxy in the case where a proxy has  
been set.  There should be a separate method for  
returning the proxy's hostname.  I'm baffled as to why  
someone thought a request's host is its proxy's host!  
Am I missing something?  
  
Note that this bug is related to 413135 -- should both  
be fixed simultaneously.  
  
I'll upload a patch eventually.
