Could anyone please advise if I'm doing this correctly? I'm trying to post a request to Paymentech gateway. When I try the link in a browser, it responds fine (https://orbitalvar1.paymentech.net/authorize:443), but using post as bellow returns an error. Most likely I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure out what.
Thanks, Adnan *CODE:* import sys, httplib request = xml_string # "proper xml request..." HOST = "https://orbitalvar1.paymentech.net/authorize:443"; # tried without https as well: HOST = "orbitalvar1.paymentech.net/authorize:443" webservice = httplib.HTTPS(HOST) webservice.putrequest("POST", '') webservice.putheader("Host", HOST) webservice.putheader("User-Agent","Python post") webservice.putheader("Content-Type", "application/PTI46") webservice.putheader("Content-transfer-encoding", "text") webservice.putheader("Content-length", "%d" % len(request)) webservice.endheaders() webservice.send(request) statuscode, statusmessage, header = webservice.getreply() print statuscode, statusmessage, header *TRACEBACK:* Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/adnan/web2py-dev-branch8/gluon/restricted.py", line 205, in restricted exec ccode in environment File "/Users/adnan/web2py-dev-branch8/applications/dev_thanemobile/controllers/default.py", line 898, in <module> File "/Users/adnan/web2py-dev-branch8/gluon/globals.py", line 173, in <lambda> self._caller = lambda f: f() File "/Users/adnan/web2py-dev-branch8/applications/dev_thanemobile/controllers/default.py", line 43, in test_pmt paymentech.do_request(xml_string) File "applications/dev_thanemobile/modules/paymentech.py", line 46, in do_request webservice.endheaders() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 937, in endheaders File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 797, in _send_output File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 759, in send File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1140, in connect File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 553, in create_connection *gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known*
