[issue8238] Proxy handling

I attached a screenshot.

The proxy is on the corporate network. I'm not setting it up, I'm only using it. Internet Explorer needs that setting in order to connect. Firefox needs this proxy set as "manual proxy configuration".

I looked deeper into the situatioan, usign the following (modified) script:

---------------------------------------------------
import time
import urllib2

timeMark = time.time()
opener = urllib2.build_opener()

proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http://10.249.1.63:80"})
opener.add_handler(proxy)

textWeb = opener.open("http://www.google.com/").read()

print time.time() - timeMark

---------------------------------------------------

The only difference from the script above: I set up the proxy manually.
I tested the new script in 2.6.5

With Windows proxy active: same problem, long waiting time.
With Windows proxy disabled: fast execution.
