Question

I am developing an application with PyQT4 which will POST some data to a web service to send SMS. The application works perfectly on Ubuntu 10.04. But when I deploy it on Windows, I get the BadStatusLine Error. I am running Python 2.6.4 on Windows 7.

The Error Message and the source codes follow. I didn’t put the gui.py since it was auto generated by the Qt Designer.

Please help me debug it.

Error Message:

Well, I just got id of it. You can not mix up Unicode and Strings. I also used urllib instead of urllib2. It worked. But I am not yet sure where the problem came from 🙁
