I meant, urlopen("data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA
AAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO
9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==")

should work out of box, wherein the DataHandler example that is the
documentation is made available in request.py and added to
OpenerDirector by default. I find it hard to gauge the utility, but
documentation is ofcourse a +1.

Thanks,
