I'm posting this here because I couldn't see how to
upload a file to bug 545480.

Here are some more examples.

I don't use a proxy, so I haven't tested them. They're
very simple though (famous last words...).

I include examples about adding headers, since I get the
impression people assume it's awkward to do this with
urllib2. Also, User-Agent is a special case that often
comes up.

The patch also fixes a couple of markup nits.

Would you solicit someone to test these for you and report
back when you're confident (based on running code) that
they are right.

The examples look fine to me. Applied as urllib2.tex 1.21
