What kind of errors are they reporting? For me, if there is an active internet connection up the urllib function just works :-) OTOH you might have to get the proxy settings from ICD if the internet connection requires the user to use a proxy.
python-conic and/or some gconf magic should solve this, IAP information is stored in gconf at /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/

Problem with fMMS? Run in x-terminal: cp /tmp/fmms.log /home/user/MyDocs/
After that you'll see fmms.log in filemanager or when you connect the device to your desktop as a mass storage device.
E-mail the log to me, if you don't have the email address, drop me a PM. Thanks!

as far as i am aware it depends on how the device configures.
Healthcheck needs internet activity for very little, but when it does, it either:
Healthcheck needs internet activity for very little, but when it does, it either:
- Asks the user for mermission, and to select a connection
- Uses the current available connection
- Will error out (in my case provide a blank number) if fails.

My N900 Python app is successfully retrieving several small xml files and large (100+ MB) media files with the following:
req = urllib2.Request(url)
reply = urllib2.urlopen(req)
... then reading from reply. Without special configuration, although I am not behind a firewall.

I use the following in FeedingIt, which seems to handle proxies pretty well.
Code:
def getProxy():
import gconf
if gconf.client_get_default().get_bool('/system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy'):
port = gconf.client_get_default().get_int('/system/http_proxy/port')
http = gconf.client_get_default().get_string('/system/http_proxy/host')
proxy = proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler( {"http":"http://%s:%s/"% (http,port)} )
return (True, proxy)
return (False, None)
# Enable proxy support
(proxy_support, proxy) = getProxy()
if proxy_support:
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
### Use urllib2.urlopen("http://...")
f = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.google.com")
data = f.read()
f.close()

Thanks for your feedback !
I have created a simple script, that tests downloading files from the Internet to /tmp:
* using urlib <- this is what my app is currently using
* using urlib2
* setting up the proxy and then downloading files (thanks, Slocan !)
When I have results from N900 users (I dont have a N900 myself, yet, Ill sure let you know
..or, If someone is brave enought to test this, the testing script is here:
test_internet_connectivity.py

As an update to my previous post, one user has reported that the proxy use doesn't work with his 3G connection. For some reason, /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy is set to True, yet it needs to connect directly to get data. Maybe someone more familiar with these type of connections can enlighten us why it'd do that.

In a surprising turn of events, the users, who previously reported errors, say its now working without problems...
Because I have done no modification to the downloading code, their internet connectivity was either misconfigured or there were some other external factors.
Conclusion: It is really not needed to ask for Internet connectivity on the N900, if there is already an active Internet connection.
So anyway, thanks for feedback, everybody !

My application uses Internet for downloading files (OSM tiles, using the urllib.urlretrieve function) and everything works when running in Scratchbox. But on the N900, users report download errors, even though other applications (web browser, etc.) can use the Internet just fine.
So I would like to ask:
* Do I need to "enable" Internet connectivity for the application ?
* How can i do that, for a Python program ?
Thanks in advance !
