Summary: urllib2 bug in proxy auth

Initial Comment:
in urllib2.py:

line 502 should be:
... user_pass = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (unquote
(user), unquote(password))).strip()

the '.strip()' is missing in the current version ("2.1").

this makes an additonal '\n' at the end of user_pass.
So there will be an empty line in the http header, which 
is buggy.

(see also line 645, where the .strip() is right in place!).

Best regards,

Christoph
