[IronPython] Sockets and Standard Library Modules in IronPython

[Fuzzyman]

Hello all,

A plea to 'the team'. urllib and urllib2 are Python standard libraries 
modules that provide a high level interface to accessing internet 
resources. They are widely used.

These modules are broken for the official IronPython distribution, but 
they work with FePy thanks to patches that Seo has applied.

Seo says that the IronPython support for Python sockets has improved 
greatly in IronPython 1.1 - but unfortunately not to the point where 
these modules functions.

This is a request for these issues to be addressed as soon as possible. :-)


Many Thanks
