Dennis, I tried a ProxyHandler with the following code ...
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support) urllib2.install_opener(opener) ... but it's giving me the same result. Then I tried to tunnel using code from ... http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/213238 ... but it too gave me an error ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in <module> tunnel.run(tunnel_this) File "C:/Python25/My Python/PyTunnel.py", line 124, in run Threads.append( thread_it(tid=0,proxy=self.get_proxy(),\ File "C:/Python25/My Python/PyTunnel.py", line 81, in get_proxy proxy.connect((self._phost,self._pport)) File "<string>", line 1, in connect gaierror: (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
