Heh, my answer to complaints about the urrlib (etc) APIs being
horrendous in the modern web era is to point out that they were put
together in an age where "web" mostly meant "unauthenticated HTTP GET
requests".

They're hard to use for modern authentication protocols because they
*predate* widespread use of such things...

Cheers,
Nick.
