Can't pass web address to retrieve method

Here is the code I'm using. It grabs the title, description and link to the 
original article.

h = httplib2.Http('.cache')
response, content = 
h.request('http://www.huffingtonpost.com/feeds/verticals/comedy/index.xml')

print(content[:64])

huffPostContent = str(content)

print(huffPostContent)

huffFinder = 
re.compile('<title>(.{5,90})</title>|<summary>(.{5,300})</summary>|<link 
rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="(.{5,100})"/>', re.IGNORECASE)
findHuff = re.findall(huffFinder,huffPostContent)

for i in findHuff:
    print(i[2].replace("\\'","'") + "\n" + i[1].replace("\\'","'") + "\n" + i[0].replace("\\'","'"))
    # New Stuff
    j = httplib2.Http('.cache')
    pageToSearch = str(i[2])
    print(pageToSearch)

    response, content = j.request(pageToSearch)
    huffArtContent = str(content)
    huffArtFinder = re.compile('<div class="entry_body_text">(.{5,400})<div class="contin_below">', re.IGNORECASE)
    findHuffArt = re.findall(huffArtFinder,huffArtContent)

I want to then search the original article, by performing a request(). But I 
get this error:

raise RelativeURIError("Only absolute URIs are allowed. uri = %s" % uri)
httplib2.RelativeURIError: Only absolute URIs are allowed. uri =  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using Python 3 on a Mac.

Thanks for any help. I know I'm doing something silly
