When I first looked at this I thought it wouldn't do the trick either,
|
|
since I wanted to use the HTTP POST protocol. On further inspection
|
|
I see that urllib has that covered. So I tried it out, only to run up
|
|
against a problem that I want to blame on urllib; it claims to not
|
|
recognize the http url type:
|
|
|
|
Python 1.5.1 (#0, Nov 18 1998, 12:17:58) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

|
>>> import urllib
|
|
>>> connection=urllib.urlopen('http://www.yahoo.com')
|
|
|
|
Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "C:\PROGRAM
|
|
FILES\HOMERUN\lib\python1.5\urllib.py", line 59, in urlopen return
|
|
_urlopener.open(url) File "C:\PROGRAM
|
|
FILES\HOMERUN\lib\python1.5\urllib.py", line 155, in open return
|
|
self.open_unknown(fullurl) File "C:\PROGRAM
|
|
FILES\HOMERUN\lib\python1.5\urllib.py", line 169, in open_unk nown raise
|
|
IOError, ('url error', 'unknown url type', type) IOError: ('url error',
|
|
'unknown url type', 'http')
|
|
|
|
>>>
|
|
|
|
As a test, I hacked urllib by forcing it to think all url's are http
|
|
url's, like so:
|
|
|
|
# name = 'open_' + type
|
|
name = 'open_http'
|
|
|
|
This gets past the url type only to fail on the urllib line:
|
|
|
|
if not host: raise IOError, ('http error', 'no host given')
|
|
|
|
Hacking in a host doesn't help much either. Is there something wrong
|
|
with my proxy 'set' command? (This is under W95)
|
|
|
|
SET http_proxy="100.287.14.130:80"
|
|
|
|
Thanks again,
