im trying to test urllib.urlopen function in python 2.4
i do the following on the interpreter
>>>import urllib
>>>sock=urllib.urlopen("http://www.google.com";)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/urllib.py", line 77, in urlopen
return opener.open(url)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/urllib.py", line 185, in open
return getattr(self, name)(url)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/urllib.py", line 308, in open_http
h.endheaders()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 795, in endheaders
self._send_output()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 676, in _send_output
self.send(msg)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 643, in send
self.connect()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 611, in connect
socket.SOCK_STREAM):
IOError: [Errno socket error] (-2, 'Name or service not known')
i have configured the http proxy by exporting the http_proxy variable
export http_proxy=http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:80
any clues y this could be happening?? is it a problem with the proxy.. i
tried putting the same settings inside .wgetrc and that works fine
