...For those who would ask Senthil to take this to comp.lang.python, he already did and got no response. He's working on fixes to urllib2, so this seems to me to be a python-dev question and I suggested he post here. I tried it with 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0 and got blanks for the canonical name as well. Hopefully someone with more network-fu can steer him in the right direction.
