Thanks for the report, that whole website is now down.

I couldn't find a replacement at a new website, we can instead replace it with a recent Internet Archive link:

https://web.archive.org/web/20201215133350/https://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/authentication.shtml

@OmerFI Would you like to create a pull request? You can edit the page directly at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/howto/urllib2.rst

Ping also @voidspace.

@hugovk Thanks for the quick reply.

The article uses python 2. So maybe it is better to remove this link?

Or, I can create a pull request and replace the broken link with the Internet Archive link.

Good point, yes, I think we should remove it instead.
