I have an External Method containing a reference to urlopen. The procedure that the Method represents works well when invoked from outside of Zope. However, within Zope I get the 10061 socket error, "Connection refused."

Help or advice, please. Are you sure, it gets the same parameters?

"Connection refused" usually means, there is not server at the other end...

I am reasonably confident that this is true. The following code runs successfully inside SciTE. def getCount ( ): from urllib import urlopen, quote from string import find searchFor = 'Cobol' arg = r'http://jobsearch.monster.ca/jobsearch.asp?brd=1&cy=CA&lid=236&fn=6&fn=546&fn...' % ( quote ( searchFor), ) result = arg try: page = urlopen ( arg ) result += '<br/>%s: ' % searchFor for line in page.readlines(): loc = find ( line, "Jobs 1 to " ) if loc != -1: loc2 = find ( line, " of " ) loc3 = find ( line, "</B>", loc2 ) result += line [ loc2 + 4 : loc3 ] return result result += 'None found' except Exception, msg: result += '<br/>' + str ( msg ) return result if __name__ == "__main__": print getCount ( ) If I upload this into an External Method with function name "getCount" and then click on the 'Test' tab I get the following: http://jobsearch.monster.ca/jobsearch.asp?brd=1&cy=CA&lid=236&fn=6&fn=546&fn=660&fn=554&fn=561&q=Cobol<br/>[Errno socket error] (10061, 'Connection refused') Would appreciate any more thoughts you might have.
