[Tutor] URLLIB Problem Progress(?)

Tue, 01 Feb 2000 14:34:08 -0600

I've been continuing to make progress on getting the URLLIB module to
work with an HTTP proxy -- my http_proxy environment variable currently
reads: "http://proxyname.mydomain.com/" -- and now I get this error when
running "urllib.test()":

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/urllib.py", line 985, in ?
    test()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/urllib.py", line 964, in test
    fn, h = urlretrieve(url)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/urllib.py", line 69, in urlretrieve
    return _urlopener.retrieve(url)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/urllib.py", line 186, in retrieve
    fp = self.open(url)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/urllib.py", line 159, in open
    return getattr(self, name)(url)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/urllib.py", line 259, in open_http
    return addinfourl(fp, headers, "http:" + url)
TypeError: illegal argument type for built-in operation

Is this saying that the "string-constant-plus-'url'-variable" line above
is not acceptable?
Am I missing something silly?

Thanks!
Curtis

PS: Thanks for the help on my last post about mapping.  Curiosity
question: Why don't dictionaries use curly braces instead of square
brackets for assignation?  e.g. <dic{key}=value> instead of
<dic[key]=value>.   My initial newbie reaction to seeing that is to
think the dictionary is a list -- especially when you use curly braces
with them otherwise.  Just wondering.
