Meanwhile I wrote my own CONNECT quick hack. As indeed
this hack works correct for all proxied environments tested
up to now (>30) I wonder how open_https (in urllib and
urllib2) ever in the past managed to come through a proxy,
because there is some differentiation in open_https for the
case, that there is a proxy!? Who has written that
if..else's? Are there proxies which really do
SSL-handshaking directly and make an extra connection to the
target server? I guess that would even make certificate
handling very strange... I cannot immagine and never saw
one. But maybe such proxies exist. I am not a real expert
for such networking questions, but I guess CONNECT is widely
used and in my own proxies I can see in the log file, that
all common browsers use a HTTP CONNECT request for https
proxying. CONNECT should at least be implemented as an
option in urllibX
