Really? No https + auth proxy support in python?

I tried my screenlet at work today and, as expected, it doesn't automagically negotiate the proxy.

So I've been gooshing like crazy tonight to find the https + authenticated proxy solution in python ... but it seems there isn't any. There are some GPL'd modules that others have written to do https + proxy support ( e.g. http://msnp.sourceforge.net/tmp/eb0kGb/net.py ), but there seems to be nothing to support https + auth proxy.

Am I wrong? Please tell me I'm wrong.... (and explain why) :)

Thanks for your reply. It looks promising. The sample in the 'i'm feeling lucky' link is a plaintext URL, but it might be OK for HTTPS resources.
