+    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.
