urllib fails to connect

[jlist]

I'm running ActiveState Python 2.5 on Windows XP. It used
to work fine. Today however I get (10061, 'Connection refused')
for any site I try with urllib.urlopen( ).

Re: urllib fails to connect

I found out why. I set a proxy in IE and I didn't know
ActiveState Python use IE proxy!

May be the host is Listening on the port you are connecting to or the
host isnt availible

if u on a LAN try to ping the host first and Disable the Firewall on
Hosts Computer

Perhaps IE's proxy settings are effectively setting the Windows system
networking proxy settings?

Re: urllib fails to connect

My guess is urllib.urlopen( ) wraps the wininet calls, which share
IE proxy settings.

urllib doesn't use wininet, but it does fetch the proxy settings from
the Windows registry.
