title: URLError: urlopen error timed out
body: <p>Whenever i try to make a HTTP request to some url through my django application which is running on top of apache mod_python (Machine: Ubuntu 10.04 server edition, 64-bits), it gives a timeout error.</p>
  
  <p>The strange thing is that it works fine on Ubuntu 10.04 server edition, 32-bits.
  I feel there could be some proxy connection issue. But i am not sure how to resolve it, if that is the case.</p>
  
  <p>What could be the issue? Can anyone please throw some light on this.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance.</p>
