Ok, here is the result with headers.  They answer the 'where from'
question, but not the 'why'.  Not for me at least:

Proxy-agent: Ositis-WinProxy
Connection: close
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Length: 161
<HEAD><TITLE>403 Forbidden</TITLE></HEAD>

<BODY><H1>403 Forbidden</H1>

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON\TOOLS\IDLE\ScriptBinding.py", line 131, in
run_module_event
    execfile(filename, mod.__dict__)
  File "C:\Users\Bruce\postal codes\idle_experiment.py", line 21, in ?
    data = f.readline()
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\Lib\plat-win\socket.py", line 117, in readline
    new = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize)
error: (10054, 'winsock error')

Where do I go from here?  I've tried to start a dialog with Ositis,
but I'm not very hopeful that they will be able to help.  As an aside,
I am curious why the 'winsock error' is occuring, since the response from
the proxy server looks pretty full-formed.  Any ideas on that part?

Thanks,
