urllib.urlopen: Errno socket error

Dennis,

I tried a ProxyHandler with the following code ...

proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)

... but it's giving me the same result.

Then I tried to tunnel using code from ...

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/213238

... but it too gave me an error ...

Traceback (most recent call last):
