Hi again, According to https://demo.launchpad.net/products/python/+bug/56872 or more specifically, the example of its working code: http://librarian.demo.launchpad.net/3507227/urllib2_proxy_auth.py I can use urllib2 via proxy to access a https site(specifically hooking it up to libgmail). The problem is that the proxy that is accessible to me is http/port8080 only. Is it possible to use urllib2 with this proxy to access a https site? (im guessing no, but im sure there are ways around it). I've tried modifying the code to point to a https site (https://mail.google.com/mail/) without changing the http proxy and it produces a HTTP timeout error. Despite this, if I manually use a web browser to access these sites it prompts me with the proxy login and lets me through. So im also puzzled here why my browser lets this happen but urllib2 doesnt. Thanks again for all your help. Cheers Astan
