Could some one help me out on this? I cannot use urllib2 in the

Which aspect of the documentation:
http://docs.python.org/library/httplib.html
leads you to think that the first parameter to
httplib.HTTPConnection should be a URL?
<dump>
>>> import httplib
>>> httplib.HTTPConnection ("127.0.0.1")
<httplib.HTTPConnection instance at 0x00AAB508>
>>> httplib.HTTPConnection ("localhost")
<httplib.HTTPConnection instance at 0x00B40558>
>>>
</dump>
