FakeSocket class.  Without it, the sendall() call got the method on
the underlying socket object, and that messed up SSL.

Does httplib use other methods of sockets that FakeSocket doesn't support?
Someone should take a look...  (I'll try to give it a once-over.)

that /var/tmp comes after /tmp instead of the patch's suggestion of
putting it before /usr/tmp.

Some of the newer routines return an OSErr, like most toolbox calls, in stead of depending on ResError(). Second half of fix for #531291.

[ 516299 ] urlparse can get fragments wrong

unnecessary redirection limit code which is already in FancyURLopener.

The proper fix is not quite what was submitted; it's really better to
take the class of the object passed rather than calling PyMethod_New
with NULL pointer args, because that can then cause other core dumps

I also added a testcase for the fix to classmethods() in test_descr.py.

I've already applied this to the 2.2 branch.

(as it is often not on Windows). The code was always designed so that it
would raise an IOError if there was no .netrc. But if there was no $HOME
it would return a KeyError which would be somewhat unexpected for code
that didn't know the algorithm it used to find .netrc. The particular
code that triggered this problem for me was ftpmirror.py which handled
the IOError gracefully, but not the KeyError.

change the installed version on either of the machines I use to format the

also better for external users of the Python styles.
