Ignore my previous note. Digging into this a little more, I think I've possibly found the underlying issue:

If the port is not specified in set_tunnel (as in your example), the buffer sent over the wire looks like

"send: b'POST [PATH] HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: [HOST]:None\r\nAccept-Encoding: identity\r\nContent-Length: 41\r\nAccept: text/plain\r\nContent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n\r\n[FORM_DATA]'"

Note the "None" as the port. However, if the port is explicitly set, then the resulting buffer looks like:

"send: b'POST [PATH] HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: [HOST]:[PORT]\r\nAccept-Encoding: identity\r\nContent-Length: 41\r\nAccept: text/plain\r\nContent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n\r\n[FORM_DATA]'"


Can you retry your example, but specify the port and let me know if that fixes your problem? Either way, this is a bug that I'll submit a patch (and test) for, but I'd like to know that it solves the issue as written.
