Using httplib to access servlets on tomcat server

[jorma kala]

Hi,

I'm trying unsuccesfully to use the httplib library to execute servlets on a
local tomcat server.

If I type the following http adress on my browser
http://localhost:8080/test/Serv1  the servlet works fine.
But if I try to access it with the following python code:

   conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("http://localhost:8080")
   conn.request("GET", "/test/Serv1")
   r1 = conn.getresponse()

I get the following error:

socket.gaierror: (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')

Do you know what I do wrong?
Thank you very much.
