Here's an error which someone just got running BitTorrent -
Exception in thread Thread-2:

And here's one which people have been getting
*forever*, without it ever having been fixed (I've been
simply catching and ignoring it) -

Both of the above were caused by very straightforward
calls to httplib. I'm fairly certain (especially with
the second one) that they're internal bugs.
I'd like to mention while I'm at it that I'm extremely
unhappy with httplib. It's buggy, blocking, and doesn't
even support timeouts. While it's good to have a
library which supports all the vagaries of http, it
would be far better for it to be a simple object which
you tell when data was received and it tells you when
there's data to be sent out. That way it could
integrate easily into other applications's event loops.
The blocking and buggy nature of httplib has caused me
no end of headaches, and I think I'm not the only one.
