trying sockets

[Brian Lee]

Try urllib module. It's very easy to use to fetch web page.
And I think you don't need to bind in your source because
you want to fetch web page by GET command. You don't need
to start tcp server. Right?

>>> import urllib
>>> a = urllib.urlopen('http://www.num.uni-sb.de')
>>> print len(a.read()) 
4678

I got 4678 bytes from www.num.uni-sb.de.
