Using the obsolete httplib.HTTP class.

    <http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-httplib.html>

Try using HTTPConnection and HTTPResponse objects:

    >>> import httplib
    >>>
    >>> webhost = 'adsl.internode.on.net'
    >>> pagepath = '/htm/un-metered-sites-ip-list.htm'
    >>>
    >>> http_conn = httplib.HTTPConnection( webhost )
    >>> http_conn.request( 'GET', pagepath )
    >>>
    >>> http_resp = http_conn.getresponse()
    >>> ( http_resp.status, http_resp.reason )
    (200, 'OK')
