+ If the environment variable ``REQUEST_METHOD`` is set, which usually
+ indicates your script is running in a CGI environment, the environment
+ variable ``HTTP_PROXY`` (uppercase) will be ignored. This is because that
+ variable can be injected by a client using the "Proxy:" HTTP header. If you
+ need to use an HTTP proxy in a CGI environment, either use ``ProxyHandler``
+ explicitly, or make sure the variable name is in lowercase (``http_proxy``).

urllib also exposes certain utility functions like splittype, splithost and
others parsing url into various components. But it is recommended to use
:mod:`urlparse` for parsing urls than using these functions directly.
