Summary: urllib and httplib fails to open url

Details: urllib and httplib fails to open the URL:
"http://www.redherring.com/". By examining network traffic a request and
response from server is taking place but python simply hangs with an
"connection reset by peer" when it tries to open this particular URL.
Fredrik Lundh had a work-around to this problem while using httplib by
doing an explicit socket.close(), however I believe that more people should
look into the problem and hopefully a fix could be available for both
urllib and httplib. The problem has been reported to fail under both
version 1.5.2 and 2.0, however I have only tested it under ver.1.5.2
