How to run Mercurial on Suse SLES 11 SP1 behind proxy with authentication ?

[Luca Toldo]

Dear experts,
I have a server running Suse SLES 11 SP1 behind proxy with authentication.
hg clone https://....
does not work since urllib2 (that is used by mercurial) does not
appropriately handle proxy with authentication.
Can you please instruct me what to do ?
I thought to install urllib3 and then recompile mercurial using urllib3
instead of urllib2 however I couldn't find anyone describing it in the net
and therefore I do not feel sure.
Could you please instruct me ?
Thankyou
