[Tutor] How to use urllib2.https_open with SSL support in Windows XP for python 2.5.2]

[xbmuncher]

I tried it just like both of you suggested and sent a req object straight to
urlopen. Here is my code:
import urllib2
url = 'https://url.com'
headers = {
'User-Agent' : 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT)',
'Accept' :
'text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5',
'Accept-Language' : 'fr-fr,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3',
'Accept-Charset' : 'ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7'
}

#None = GET; set values to use POST
req = urllib2.Request(url, None, headers)
handle = urllib2.urlopen(req)
resp = handle.read()
print resp.geturl()
print resp.info()
print resp

resp.close()



Here is the error msg:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\https_query.py", line 16, in
<module>
    handle = urllib2.urlopen(req)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 124, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 381, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 399, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 360, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 1115, in https_open
    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPSConnection, req)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 1080, in do_open
    r = h.getresponse()
  File "C:\Python25\lib\httplib.py", line 928, in getresponse
    response.begin()
  File "C:\Python25\lib\httplib.py", line 385, in begin
    version, status, reason = self._read_status()
  File "C:\Python25\lib\httplib.py", line 349, in _read_status
    raise BadStatusLine(line)
BadStatusLine
