My python app had to retrieve some web pages and while 
our network environment requires proxy it uses urllib2 
opener (source is in attachment). It worked very well 
on older Python interpreters:
ActivePython 2.4.2 Build 248 (ActiveState Corp.) based 
on
Python 2.4.2 (#67, Oct 30 2005, 16:11:18) [MSC v.1310 
32 bit (Intel)] on win32

It works on linux with 2.3 and 2.4.1:
Python 2.4.1 (#2, May 5 2005, 11:32:06)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-12)] on linux2

But it does not work with newest 2.4.3 on Linux:
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 10 2006, 09:57:52)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)] on linux2

Desired result:

I have raported it on ActiveState bug list (http://
bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47018) while I 
first spot this bug on their destribution but it seems 
that bug is in others distributions too.
