urllib3 stops using the http proxy after the connection is dropped (after 24 requests in my testing with pypi. other people have seen different numbers)
What I expected to happen:
urllib3 should always use the proxy
Other Info:
This has been fixed in commit 1c30a1f3 of urllib3 and included in its 1.8.3 release. This bug also affects pip and requests as reported here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1805
I really hope the bugfix will be backported, since pip is currently unusable behind an outgoing firewall on 14.04
Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

Steps to reproduce:
1. set up an http proxy /pypi.python. org/
