Summary: urllib2 exceptions need improvement

Initial Comment:
Hi.

Thanks for urllib2.
Urllib2 would be even better if Exceptions were more
unified, i.e. if there was way to test any URLException
for common failure causes, regardless of the protocol.
Example: 'File not found' can happen with
http/ftp/gopher/...

Cheers

Thomas
