The proxy server is WinProxy Lite, V2.1. It is running on an NT4 server.
Yes, IE and Netscape both work fine through the proxy server, and no, the
sysadmin doesn't know anything more about WinProxy than how to install it
and configure it for normal http/ftp/smtp/pop3 clients.
Following suggestions from several kind people, I have also tried the
following:
import os, urllib
os.environ['http_proxy'] = "http(colon-slash-slash)10.187.200.230"
f = urllib.urlopen('http://www.python.org')
data = f.read()
This gets as far as the f.read() call before it fails in the same fashion.
Appending ":80" or ":8080" to the proxy URL yield the same results, too.
I'm going to try to contact the WinProxy folks and see if they have any
insight into this problem, but if anyone here can help, it would of course
be appreciated.
Thanks,
