It doesn't matter, the same error 10060 appears .

The connection problem has to do with the proxy settings.

 In order for me to use Internet Explorer, the LAN's Automatic
configuration must be turned on and use a script found on the
company's proxy server. I was wondering how to get urllib.urlopen to
access the script on the proxy server.

Thanks for your help.
