When using urllib2 and specifying a HTTPS proxy when setting up a ProxyHandler, the library does not encrypt the traffic sent to the proxy server. This results in unpredictable behavior. Either the support should be implemented or an error raised

Should this be classifed as a security issue?

It very well could be. I'd like to be able to repro it first though. I'll try to get some time to look into it, but if someone else can confirm this behavior and attach a test case, that would be great.
