http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib.html
The page says that the return type of urlopen().info() is a
mimetools.Message object, which is not quite true; it is a
httplib.HTTPMessage object, which is a class derived from
mimetools.Message, but with additional features.
The httplib.HTTPMessage class is not documented at all, for which I will
file a separate bug.

I'm including 2.7, as it also has this documentation problem. The rest
of the documentation is correct.
I know there is still work to be done on bpo-4773, which might affect
this doc.

Patch for 2.7.
