Hi, I have a proxy server that requires authentication on a non-standard port and Im trying to connect to it via socket.connect() I tried doing this: import socket server = ("username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]",1234) s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect(server)
I keep getting the Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module> s.connect(server) File "<string>", line 1, in connect gaierror: (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed') What does this mean? and can I actually use username/password to connect using a socket in python? Thanks Astan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
