Sorry for all these tiny updates. 
 
Summary of what remains to be done: 
 
1. Apply Guido's patch for urllib.py: guido.txt.  The docs are already 
   correct. 
 
2. 301 in response to POST is still not redirected in urllib2. 
   urllib2.py.patch3 fixes that (note patch3, not patch2).  It also 
   removes my Request.get_method method (which now seems like 
   overkill, as well as breaking the URL scheme-independence of 
   Request).  Also fixes an exception message. 
 
3. liburllib2.tex.patch2 updates the docs to reflect the changes 
   in urllib2.py.patch3, rephrases a note and adds a missing method 
   description. 
 
4. liburllib.tex.patch2: trivial rewording of docs for clarity. 
 
5. Backport above changes to 2.2 bugfix branch.

Ah.  The tests are preceeded by a warning about only working from a 
particular set of hosts: I mis-remembered, thinking that applied to 
*all* the tests.  Sorry.
