"Handle" as in how do I catch that exception?  The exception's name is
give in the error message.  Look at the last line.  To catch that
exception, you can do this:

import httplib   #that's the module the exception lives in
                 #as indicated in error message

try:
    ....
    ....
    ....
except httplib.InvalidURL, e:
    print e
    print "Bad url"
