The code at that URL seems to be claiming you CAN'T do that, even with HTTP URLs (note HTTP, not HTTPS). Hopefully (s)he is complaining about 2.4 -- there are a bunch of bugs with this kind of thing fixed in Python 2.5. Re HTTPS: urllib2 does not support the CONNECT method (nor urllib, I think), so no, you can't visit HTTPS URLS through a proxy with vanilla urllib2. There are some hacks lying around in the cookbook and on the Python SF tracker showing how to do it, though. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
