Hi all,
    I am trying to connect to localhost via httplib, but it fails.
    To check whether it is a firewall problem etc, I tried to connect
via urllib2, but it went through fine.

    Could some one help me out on this? I cannot use urllib2 in the
program because I have to send files via post to a url, and urllib2
doesn't support it (Python2.4)

Please see the code below:
-->HTTPLIB<--
h = httplib.HTTPConnection("http://127.0.0.1:8000";)
h.request('GET', "/accounts/")
res = h.getresponse()

Which aspect of the documentation:

http://docs.python.org/library/httplib.html

leads you to think that the first parameter to
httplib.HTTPConnection should be a URL?

<dump>
import httplib
httplib.HTTPConnection ("127.0.0.1")
<httplib.HTTPConnection instance at 0x00AAB508>
httplib.HTTPConnection ("localhost")
<httplib.HTTPConnection instance at 0x00B40558>


</dump>
