           Summary: webkitpy: replace urllib with urllib2 for downloading
                    additional modules
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: brian.holt at samsung.com


Tarball releases for additional modules are downloaded using python’s urllib.  However this fails when traffic is routed through a proxy:

$Tools/Scripts/test-webkitpy fails with error 400.

However the proxy is correctly setup and can download the file with wget.

The solution (and this solves the problem for me) is to replace urllib with urllib2, which should cause no trouble because urllib2 should be available everywhere but has better proxy support.
