Hi.. thanx for the reply..., i have used urllib before, but i need to
retrieve a https ssl secured page..., so i thought of lettin internet
explorer do all the dirty work of handling https.. since i had no luck
with the httpshandler from urllib2 (some socket problem.. i can't
figure out). Is there an alternate way of handling this problem?

help appreciated
