Help on class HTTP in module httplib:

class HTTP
 |  Compatibility class with httplib.py from 1.5.

 |  __init__(self, host='', port=None, strict=None)

The constructor doesn't take a complete URL as an argument.  

Also, shouldn't you be using httplib.HTTPConnection?  The docs
 state that httplib.HTTP is for backward compatibility only.
