This is fixed in the trunk (Revision 72880), but there has been number of valid requests to backport it Python 2.6. While I agree and ready to backport to Python 2.6, I would like to ask here if there are any objections in this front.
In msg76855 Greg ruled that it is a new feature, and thus cannot be backported. I trust his judgement - so to convince me, you would need to convince Greg first :-)

So long as the new set_tunnel() method is hidden in the backport I'm fine with the patch. It fixes urllib2 do the right thing with https and a proxy without any public API change. -Greg
