[TIP] wsgi_intercept and Windows

[Olemis Lang]

Hi all ! Do you remember this thread? It's very old indeed, but few
days ago I discovered the root cause of the problem (see details below
;o)

Well, the fact is that it seems that the following events took place
in that PC (cronological order) :

  - Windows installed and thus MS IE too
  - User (or someone ;o) configured proxy
  - Admin (or someone ;o) uninstalled MSIE but configs remained
  - Proxy stopped working

So every time I tried to do anything, httplib(2) | urllib(2) retrieved
the outdated proxy value (didn't know that was used to configure proxy
server :-S ) from
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings : ProxyServer
and therefore I always got

URLError: <urlopen error (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')>

... which is somehow bizarre (now that I know ;o) because I thought
that such errors were raised for failed DNS lookup (especially in this
case localhost & 127.0.0.1 were the target hosts to connect to), not
proxies . I suppose I am missing something .

Is that ok ? Should I create a ticket somewhere ?

Anyway, thnx Titus et al.

PS: I recently also had similar problems using HessianPy client and
that's why I decided to try once again and see what happened with that
PC ;o)

Hey Murphy ! Stay away from me !
