(1) Please avoid top-posting
(2) Did you read the other part of Kev's comment? "The constructor
doesn't take a complete URL as an argument." You must pass only the
domain to the constructor and then call .request() on the
HTTPConnection object.
(3) If you're using SOAP, try https://fedorahosted.org/suds/
