I've lost the beginning of this thread, but you may wish
to make sure that urllib.py is sending a Host header with
the request.

try adding some debugging code to urllib.py's open_http;
something like:

  h = httplib.HTTP(host)
  h.set_debuglevel(1) # enable logging

and post the result.  may give us some additional
clues.

error 10054 is "connection reset" -- in other words, the
connection was explicitly closed by the server (the fact
that the exception occurs in a readline seems to indicate
that someone's reading too far...)
