urllib2 timeout??

[Doug Gray]

Python2.3 on Redhat Linux 8.0 here is the code.

 

import urllib2

            import ClientCookie

            request =
urllib2.Request("http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/crs/home_check_reg.htm
l",data='username=penngray1&password=testpwd')

            response = ClientCookie.urlopen(request)

            #return response.info()

            request2
=urllib2.Request("http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/fullseason/u
ltimate/game/frozen_roster.html?user_id=6208")

            resp2 = ClientCookie.urlopen(request2)

            return resp2.read()

 

 

 

The ClientCookie is a 3rd party software that handles the Set-cookie stuff
on the client for me. This allows me to login into a site then access other
webpages from that site that need cookies set. The problem is that 50% of
the time it works and 50% of the time it fails. I assume this problem is a
time out problem

 

Is there a time out problem here, why is the connection so slow in the first
place. Is it my unix server?

 

Here is the error when it fails.

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in
HandlerDispatch
    result = object(req)
 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/publisher.py", line 136,
in handler
    result = util.apply_fs_data(object, req.form, req=req)

    return object(**args)

    return _opener.open(url, data)

    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTP, req)
 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ClientCookie/_urllib2_support.py",
line 612, in do_open
    raise URLError(err)
 
URLError: 
 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance
