What sort of object is data? What do you expect it to be, and what it is 
actually?

Given that you are calling data.pop("Proxy-Connection"), that suggests to 
me that you think data is a dict. The error message given tells you that 
data is a str.

The same as any string: make a copy with whatever modifications you want. 
Strings have a replace method; you can use the re module to use regexes; 
you can slice them with some_string[start:end] syntax, etc. But it looks 
to me like you might be better off using a higher-level protocol rather 
than using socket. What sort of data are you expecting back?
