[issue7802] socket.gaierror before ProtocolError for xmlrpc.client

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

Thanks, that example was indeed wrong.  ProtocolError is not meant to be raised if the HTTP connection to the specified URI can't even be made, e.g. for unknown hosts.  Fixed in r77858.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
status: open -> closed
