localhost, ?!

[Boris Ozegovic]

Three machines, one at my home, other two at my job, in every machine there
is Win XP SP2 and Python 2.5

At home:
urllib2.urlopen("http://localhost"), everything is ok

At job:
urllib2.urlopen("http://localhost")
raise BadStatusLine(line), after half a minute.

urllib2.urlopen("http://127.0.0.1")
HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable, immediately.

Anybody have slightest clue wthat is going on? :-/

If I use urllib, then localhost works on every machine, and urllib2 works
on every machine when retreiving URLs outside localhost.

I think to have http://localhost working you need a web server (like
apache). maybe you have it at your home.

I do have Apache. You can see that urllib, older module, works correctly.

Looks like name resolving problems.

urllib2.urlopen("http://127.0.0.1")
HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable, immediately.

Definitely a problem with the web server (503 means "service
unavailable").

Try using wireshark or a similar tool to see what's going on on
protocol level.

I did try on two servers, Apache and simple python server. There was
identically error on both servers.

Ok.

Also try to look at the logs, you're bound find something there too.

Ok.

And don't forget to report back
