Hi folks,
I have an app that talk with cPanel for create/suspend/unsuspend/kill domaind.. So when I use the urllib2 to get response for cPanel and read it. It show the IncompleteRead except.
I get the same URL in a browser and the response is ok. With lib it's broked.

The Code Sample
------------------

auth = "WHM my_user:%s" % "HASHHASHHASHHASH"
_opener = urllib2.build_opener()
_opener.addheaders = [('Authorization', auth)]

url = "http://my_cpanel_url/scripts/remote_suspend?user=%s" % "user_on_cpanel_name"
try:
    f = _opener.open(url)
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
    raise OperationError(e)
result = f.read() # <-- IncompleteRead except HERE
f.close()
print result.strip()

Luís, please analyse the response from the web server to see if it really is a valid HTTP response - AFAIK CPanel web services do not always give valid HTTP responses.

[orsenthil]

Yes, please ensure that server is returning a proper HTTP response. Test it against browser or curl and see if they work. If they work, then it needs to be investigated as why 'http.client' is not working.

2.6 is only open for security issues, so any verification should use later version.

[orsenthil]

Since the reporter did not get back with more details (testing against curl or a HEAD output to eliminate server issues), I am closing this issue.
