Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
python-urllib3 version: 1.7.1-1build1

Steps to reproduce:

1. set up an http proxy
2. configure a ProxyManager to use said http proxy
3. make successive GET requests to https://pypi.python.org/

example script: https://gist.github.com/stratoukos/7545c5c909fa9b5d1cfb

What happens:

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
