Question Re urllib (Jeff James)

[Jeff James]

I'm not really receiving an "exception" other than those three sites, out
of the 30 or so I have listed, are the only sites which show "is down" at
the end of that line specifying the site.

Where " # " has been substituted for our domain name........

https://my.####.com/intranet.html* is down*
http://#####.main.####.com/psso/pssignsso.asp?dbname=FSPRD90
* is down*
http://sharepoint.####.com/regions/west/PHX_NSC/default.aspx
* is down*

In the handler print out the exception you are getting.
