Connecting with urllib to a 3G network

[albgarse]

Hi,

I'm developing an app that connects to a web server using urllib. The program works right when running in the emulator, but when I try to connect from the device, it always return an error: Broken pipe. In the IIS log there is no connection trace, so it seems like it never reaches the server.

We are using a Vodafone E51 device.

Is there any limitation in urllib when working over GPRS or 3G networks?

Best regards.

hello algbarse

i have faced this problem lots of time dont know the exact technical reason but i personally feel its a network problem from operator side.

so same may be the case with you.

I don't think the urllib has any sort of problem with GPRS.

Maybe you could try this: open network connection first with some other app, e.g. web browser. After that switch to your app and use the same access point for network connection. If possible, hardcode that AP in your code just to make sure you really use correct one.
