[New-bugs-announce] [issue19547] HTTPS proxy support missing without warning

[Stefan Richter]

New submission from Stefan Richter:

When using urllib2 and specifying a HTTPS proxy when setting up a ProxyHandler, the library does not encrypt the traffic sent to the proxy server. This results in unpredictable behavior.

Either the support should be implemented or an error raised
