[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #113811, was updated on 2000-Sep-07 09:45
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Library
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: Irreproducible
Priority: 3
Summary: Python 2.0 beta 1 -- urllib.urlopen() fails

Details: In performing a urllib.urlopen(url) with "url" containing a valid URL, I got the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "IGNRatings.py", line 249, in ?
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "IGNRatings.py", line 132, in main
    inStream = urllib.urlopen(url)
  File "E:\Python20\lib\urllib.py", line 61, in urlopen
    return _urlopener.open(url)
  File "E:\Python20\lib\urllib.py", line 163, in open
    return getattr(self, name)(url)
  File "E:\Python20\lib\urllib.py", line 259, in open_http
    h = httplib.HTTP(host)
  File "E:\Python20\lib\httplib.py", line 626, in __init__
    self._conn = self._connection_class(host, port)
  File "E:\Python20\lib\httplib.py", line 325, in __init__
    self._set_hostport(host, port)
  File "E:\Python20\lib\httplib.py", line 332, in _set_hostport
    port = int(host[i+1:])
ValueError: invalid literal for int():


I looked into this a tiny bit and found that HTTPConnection.__init__() is called with host="http:" -- probably not the right thing. Python 1.6 works correctly.

Thanks,

Comment:
My suspicion is that this is caused by an invalid URL.
The stacktrace doesn't show what URL is being used, but I bet that on close inspection there's a tiny problem with it.

We'll have to close this for lack of information unless the original submittor can help us to debug this by printing the value of url in urlopen().
