For the record, a while ago I think I made a patch implementing my 
HTTPConnection.detach() proposal. I can probably dig it up if anyone is 
interested.

However I gave up on fixing this bug in “urllib.request”. As far as I 
understand it, the framework does not distinguish the 407 Proxy Authentication 
Required error of the initial proxy CONNECT request from any potential 407 
response from a tunnelled connection. Perhaps a special case could be made; I 
think there are already lots of special cases. But the maze of urlopen() 
handlers is already too complicated and I decided this was too hard to bother 
working on. Sorry :)
