resolving the URL. So, as a test, I modified applelib.py and changed the
_DEFAULT_URL from "www.apple.com" to the IP address (17.112.152.32) and that
worked! I am able to download and view the trailers now. I don't know why
it's (urllib.py? httplib.py?) not able to resolve www.apple.com in the URL
but, until I get this figured out, this workaround will suffice. Just in
case the IP address may change, I added a couple of lines at the beginning
of applelib.py to ping www.apple.com to acquire the current IP address and
assign it to _DEFAULT_URL.
