You might be using ActiveState python on Windows? If so, you most
likely do not have the SSL layer that's required to process HTTPS
protocol queries.
You should install 'standard' Python from python.org to get the SSL
handling functionality. I understand that ActiveState can not
distribute the SSL
It certainly *should* work - have you tried with urllib2 ? I assume the
page works when fetched with a browser ?
You don't have any proxy settings do you (Python can pick up on these
automatically) ?
What error are you getting (or what value in data) ?
All the best,
