Summary: urllib.splithost() chokes on password containing '/'

Details: urllib.splithost() uses a regular expression to split url
hostnames of the form 'http://userid:password@host...' 

The regex stops at the first '/'.  If the password contains a '/' the
results are invalid.

I'm submitting this as a bug, rather than a diff, because I'm afraid to
mess with the regex.  If I come up with something, I'll send in a diff.
