A socket can't connect to a URL, a URL is an absolute location of an internet resource, eg hostname + (virtual) location on a server + page name. A socket can connect to an IP address or hostname - which is the first part of the URL after the "http://"; (or ftp:// etc) You need to post a code snippet and the errors you are getting. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
