Trouble with httplib and IRIX

[basv at sara.nl]

Hello,

 I'm running python 1.5.2 and running it on IRIX 6.5.3 systems.

 I have the following problem when i'm trying to connect to an
 non-existing machine the program hangs forever. When i kill ,restart and run
 it again, it gives an error message that it couldn't find the host. This is
 the behaviour that i would expect the first time.

 My question is does somebody else have encounter the same problems on a
 IRIX machine?

 -------------------- Python programm ------------------------

#!/usr/local/bin/python

import socket
import httplib


def main():


        h = httplib.HTTP()
        h.set_debuglevel(100)

        try:
                h.connect("www.nsrc.nus.sg")

        except socket.error, detail:
                print 'Connect failed: %s' %detail


main()
