I don't know where is the problem, but I tried the same that you put and it failed.
I tested it under cygwin, a cmd, linux with 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 python version. I think taht the problem is my corporate proxy. In this sentences we use always a http proxy, but perhaps is not the suitable kind of proxy. :-( I don't know, it is only an idea, 'cause in my other programs I always use an http proxy and it work properly. thank's for all.
