I/O error(socket error): [Errno 111] Connection refused
- by Schitti
I have a program that uses urllib to periodically fetch a url, and I see intermittent
errors like :
I/O error(socket error): [Errno 111] Connection refused.
It works 90% of the time, but the othe r10% it fails. If retry the fetch immediately after it fails, it succeeds. I'm unable to figure out why this is so. I tried to see if any ports are available, and they are. Any debugging ideas?
For additional info, the stack trace is:
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib.py", line 235, in retrieve
fp = self.open(url, data)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib.py", line 203, in open
return getattr(self, name)(url)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib.py", line 342, in open_http
h.endheaders()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 868, in endheaders
self._send_output()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 740, in _send_output
self.send(msg)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 699, in send
self.connect()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 683, in connect
self.timeout)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 512, in create_connection
raise error, msg
Edit - A google search isn't very helpful, what I got out of it is that the server
I'm fetching from sometimes refuses connections, how can I verify its not a bug in my code
and this is indeed the case?
