Scraping mail from OWA 2007 - [Errno socket error] The read operation timed out

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

Am trying to use version 0.1.1 of Scraper (by Greg Albrecht) to scrape mail 
from OWA 2007. Unfortunately I keep receiving a timeout. I am a Python newbie. 
I am running Python 2.4. Can anybody help me get this script working? I am 
really lookin forward to use it.

What steps will reproduce the problem? Am running following code in the console:
from scraper import OutlookWebScraper
s = OutlookWebScraper('https://mail.bt.com', 'domain\user', 'password')
s.login()

What is the expected output? Not an error message.

What do you see instead? 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "scraper.py", line 140, in login
    html        = self.get_page(url=url)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\ssl.py", line 138, in read
    return self._sslobj.read(len)
IOError: [Errno socket error] The read operation timed out

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Am using 0.1.1 of Scraper (by Greg Albrecht) to scrape mail from OWA 2007. I do 
this on Windows XP 64.

Please provide any additional information below. Am a Python newbie.

The shown output is from Python 2.7, I receive thesame output from Python 2.4

Change the timeout

    import socket
    socket.timeout(300)

That fixed it for me
