Summary: urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler problem with [HOST]:[PORT]

Initial Comment:
I've encountered problems authenticating to an host
with this piece of code:

       passman =
urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()      
        passman.add_password(None, theurl, username,
password)      
        authhandler =
urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(passman)                 
        opener = urllib2.build_opener(authhandler)    
                             
        urllib2.install_opener(opener)
        req = urllib2.Request(theurl)
        try:
            handle = urllib2.urlopen(req)

if i specify an URL like: http://[MyHostIP]:[Port] auth
helper never authorize me on the host. 

It work perfectly if i don't specify ANY port in the URL.

This is actually the same problem as reported in bug 974757,
which has a 
patch attached to it. 

The problem is that with basic authentication only the 
hostname + portnumber is passed to find_user_password. This
method 
works if there is no port number when a netloc is used. 

It looks like the answer from reduce_uri is wrong when port
numbers are used.
