Research direction

Start with the linked BPO issue 17518 and the Python 2.7 urllib2 library code; the payload names no implementation file or test. Reproduce the HTTPS request using BasicAuth through a proxy, then inspect the existing discussion and behavior. Done means the reported proxy authentication and HTTPS combination is handled correctly with regression coverage.
