I test another module urllib, which uses  httplib."

I had a similar problem but thanks to our friend Seo Sanghyeon, there is a
possible solution until the IronPython socket module supports
getaddrinfo(). I have documented it at:

And it means the urllib example peter gave will work:

import urllib
data = urllib.urlopen('http://www.google.com').read( 
<http://www.google.com%27%29.read%28>)
print data
