If you edit your hosts file, it will affect where something.com points - you can force it to be IPA and then test, then force it to IPB and test. You'll still be downloading https://something.com so the HTTPS handshake should work exactly the same way. Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
