Just FYI ... I finally got this to work. Unfortunately, I was unable to use the urllib2 library. The embedded Linux team here informed me that the urllib2 library will not be available on the machine I wanted to deploy on, so I had to go back to using the urllib and httplib libraries. After trying several things, I finally gave up and hacked the library code directly. It turned out to be quite easy. I just had to wedge in a "self.sock.bind()" call in front of the "self.sock.connect()" call within the HTTPConnection class inside the httplib library. (I used the bind() function to nail down the source IP address of the client.) Of course, I had to weave in some code that allowed me to pass the client IP address through the URLopener class in the urllib library. Everything seems to work so far.
John, thanks again for your help. You pointed me in the right direction. -Dan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
