urllib2: HTTP Version not supported

[Nirnimesh]

I'm using urllib2 module to fetch a URL from a server which understands
HTTP/1.1 only (no HTTP/1.0).

urllib2.urlopen() results in "urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 505: HTTP
Version not supported".

How do I force urllib2 to use HTTP v1.1?

Are you passing httplib.HTTPConnection as the connection handler? If you
use httplib.HTTP instead, it should create a 1.0 request.
