These sites do not require a logon in order for the home page to come up. Could this be due to some port being blocked internally ? Only one of the sites reporting as down is "https" but all are internal sites. Is there some other component I should be including in the script ? There are about 30 or 40 sites that I have listed in all. I just use those in the following script as examples. Thanks import urllib sites = ["http://www.amazon.com/";, "https://internalsite.com/intranet.html";, etc.] for site in sites: try: urllib.urlopen(site) print site + " " except Exception, e: print site + " is down" -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-listI've never used urllib, although I've done a fair amount of network programming at lower levels. Are you sure the report of "down" isn't simply a time out due to the server being busier than you expect when you hit it? -Bill After adding the line suggested by Larry, I was able to determine that the URLs reporting as "down" were actually sites requiring authentication in order to provide site content, so adding that line to the handler was at least enlightening in that respect. Thanks Larry. Glad to help. Here is some info on authenticating with urllib: http://docs.python.org/2.7/howto/urllib2.html#id6
It must be a network problem, cuz your code works fine: :w !python http://www.amazon.com/ http://google.com http://tobiah.org http://notavalidurl.com http://superreallyforsurenotavalidurlnokidding.com is down Tobiah -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
