urllib2 (under windows) will auto-detect your proxy settings and use those.
Normally that's a good thing (I guess), except when it's not ! How do I switch off this behaviour ? I'm behind a censoring proxy and wanting to test things *locally*. IE is set to not use the proxy when fetching local adresses, but urllib2 ignores that part of the setting and uses the proxy for everything. The only way I can test are changing my IE settings back and forth every time. Most annoying. I can see how to *add* a new proxy to urllib2, but not how to force it to not use a proxy. I may well be missing something obvious though. Anyone able to help ? Regards, Fuzzy http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
