ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM: NXDOMAIN DNS Server

My ISP is using this new feature called NXDOMAIN redirecting.
With this feature the browser displays an isp search page for None existing 
domains.

for example:
http://www.asfsdfaasdf.com/

how it works: if you request an none existing domain the dns server
sends you the ip of an "search server" of the isp.

it seems gwibber or one of the python libs has a problem if the DNS server does 
not correclty answer queries.
I changed my dns server to one that correctly reply with NXDOMAIN and now 
EVERYTHING is WORKING

you may also try http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ or as
mentioned opendns.

hope this information helps the developer to fix the problem.
