So apparently switching the http to https in the proxyHandler call did the
trick. Thanks for all the help.

Yeah that is the case. Once I change the f = opener.open('website') line to a
link that has a https I get that socket error. Nothing else changes. I was
reading online and came across this site which shows you how if the version of
python installed supports ssl.

I only have the http of the proxy. I guess I could find out the ip of it.
However, even if I use the http proxy address, why would it work for a http
site and not a https site if its the proxy that can't resolve.

I am trying to write a program that requires me hitting a https web link.
However, I can't seem to get it to work. The program works fine when dealing
with http sites, however, when I try it with a https site I get
socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed
It seems like it has something
