New submission from Wichert Akkerman <wich...@wiggy.net>: There appears to be an odd networking issue with how urllib2 sends HTTP requests. Downloading an image from maw.liquifire.com gives an error:
$ python -c 'import urllib2 ; urllib2.urlopen("http://maw.liquifire.com/maw?set=image[2302.000.13314 a]&call=url[file:325x445]")' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 126, in urlopen return _opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 400, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 418, in _open '_open', req) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 378, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1207, in http_open return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1180, in do_open r = h.getresponse(buffering=True) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1030, in getresponse response.begin() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 407, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 365, in _read_status line = self.fp.readline() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 447, in readline data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize) socket.error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer Downloading the same image using wget works fine: $ wget 'http://maw.liquifire.com/maw?set=image[2302.000.13314 a]&call=url[file:325x445]' --2012-05-16 10:53:27-- http://maw.liquifire.com/maw?set=image[2302.000.13314%20a]&call=url[file:325x445] Resolving maw.liquifire.com (maw.liquifire.com)... 184.169.78.6 Connecting to maw.liquifire.com (maw.liquifire.com)|184.169.78.6|:80... connected.
