Fredrik, Thanks for the response. I did see that, but having been dated 2005 I thought that it might have been patched. I am also sometimes getting the same problem with the urllib.py module. T
his may have to do with the interaction between Python and the mobile optimization client that I am testing. I do not see this problem when using Internet Explorer and the optimization client, nor is there a problem when using Python and no optimization client. I am working with the optimization client vendor to have them test my Python script with their product. This problem is intermittent with the optimization client which is annoying since most of the time it works.

I guess an other option is to try and learn something like Perl and recode all the test scripts... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
