[issue13211] urllib2.HTTPError does not have 'reason' attribute.

[Petri Lehtinen]

Petri Lehtinen <petri at digip.org> added the comment:

> It appears the Python 3.2 docs no longer include documentation for URLError

Both URLError and HTTPError are documented in 3.2 and 3.3:

http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/urllib.error.html#urllib.error.URLError

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/urllib.error.html#urllib.error.URLError

It needs to be investigated whether each point raising a HTTPError sets a good msg. If this is the case, reason can be aliased to msg.

This could be done for 2.7, too, because this is a bug (deviation from what the documentation says) rather than a new feature.
