In the current 2.1 branch, httplib.connect uses
socket.getaddrinfo, which is not available in 2.1:

>>> urllib.connect()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.1/httplib.py", line 509, in
connect 
    for res in socket.getaddrinfo(self.host, self.port, 0, 
AttributeError: 'socket' module has no attribute
'getaddrinfo'

I'll check into it, but why priority 7?  If there aren't
plans to do a 2.1.4 release soon, then I would call this a
low priority.

This bug is a consequence of the backport changes from
1.34.2.4 to 1.34.2.5 of dist/src/Lib/httplib.py.

Possible resolutions:
a) backport ipv6 updates of dist/src/Modules/socketmodule.c
(happened around revision 1.153) to release21-maint
XOR
b) undo part of the backport of dist/src/Lib/httplib.py,
especially
    HTTPConnection.connect()

Assigning this to Jeremy as he checked in the backport changes.
