Using
(defun print-url (url)
(url-retrieve url (lambda (a) (print a))))
(print-url "http://google.com")
I get the error
Contacting host: localhost:3128
#<buffer *http localhost:3128*-981030>
(:error (error connection-failed "failed with code 111
" :host "localhost" :service 3128))
but a telnet session to localhost:3128 is perfectly fine.
Very bizarre! Ideas welcome.
