SF patch #490515 (Joe A) urllib.open_https() protocol issue

open_http():
    In urllib.py library module, URLopener.open_https()
    returns a class instance of addinfourl() with its
    self.url property missing the protocol.

    Instead of "https://www.someurl.com", it becomes
    "://www.someurl.com".
