I am trying to write a program that requires me hitting a https web link. However, I can't seem to get it to work. The program works fine when dealing with http sites, however, when I try it with a https site I get
socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed It seems like it has something to do with the ssl not working, however, I do have the ssl.py in the python library and I have no problem importing it. My code is below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. import urllib.request auth = urllib.request.HTTPSHandler() proxy = urllib.request.ProxyHandler({'http':'my proxy'}) opener = urllib.request.build_opener(proxy, auth) f = opener.open('http://www.google.ca/') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
