[issue19012] liburl2: bad proxy configuration throws getaddrinfo error
Sjoerd added the comment: That happens when citing things from the top of my head... it is not liburl2 but urllib2 that I used, excuse me. (And urlopen instead of openurl...) From http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib2.html it seems to be a Standard Library module to me, am I mistaken? If so, how do I find the urllib2 maintainers? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19012 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue19012] liburl2: bad proxy configuration throws getaddrinfo error
R. David Murray added the comment: The getaddrinfo error message should *not* refer to proxies, because getaddrinfo does not do anything involving proxy configuration. Presumably the error occurred when liburl2 tried to resolve the proxy. So, it is liburl2 that needs to make sure that error is placed in a comprehensible context. liburl2 is not an stdlib module. You should report your problem to the liburl2 maintainers. -- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: - invalid stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed versions: +3rd party -Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19012 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue19012] liburl2: bad proxy configuration throws getaddrinfo error
New submission from Sjoerd:
I'm sorry for providing very little information, but I don't have the system at
hand anymore. Therefore I will try to reproduce what I know, hoping that you
recognise the problem. If not, I will get back to the system and try to obtain
the necessary information.
Calling liburl2.openurl('http://www.google.com') gave me an getaddrinfo error.
Therefore, I checked my DNS configuration, which seemed okay and I issued a
socket.getaddrinfo('www.google.com'), which correctly returned an IP address.
Finally, I found out that I had an old, non-existing (?) proxy configuration in
the Windows registry (that indeed turned up when calling liburl2.getproxies()).
Removing the proxy configuration from my Windows registry solved the problem.
Is it preliminary to conclude that the getaddrinfo error may actually mean
several things (not only a simple getaddrinfo problem)? If so, I suggest that
the error message be broadened (DNS lookup or proxy problem), because it took
me several hours to find the proxy problem.
