Package: python2.5-doc
Version: 2.5.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
thanks for maintaining python.
The urllib documentation mentions: "Proxies which require authentication
for use are not currently supported; this is considered an
implementation limitation."
What it fails to mention is that proxies which require authentication
work perfectly with urllib2. A link there (like "This functionality is
implemented in _urllib2_") would turn the phrase from a "you can't do
it" into a "you can do it this way".
Cheers,

This bug has been reported against an ancient version of
python (2.5/3.1), that was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze). But
even squeeze-lts has now reached end-of-life and is no longer supported.
The bug is assumed to be fixed (or no longer relevant) in newer python
releases and therefore I'm closing this report now. If the problem is
still reproducible in the currently supported versions (python2.7,
python3.5/python3.6), feel free to provide more information, reopen
and reassign this bug report.
Andreas
