Python Script not working

[FinlayDaG33k]

hii there guys,

I build this python script, but it is not working properly.
http://pastebin.com/SzrKHUen
it says that google.com on port 80 is down, whilist ofcourse, it isn't.
I know it should be a bug somewhere in the code, but I can't find it as I started python like half an hour ago.

can someone tell me what's wrong?

The value for port in s.connect() needs to be an integer value (80), but you are giving it a string ("80"). Convert it to an integer and you should be OK.

Debugging hint: Put some extra print statements inside the try/except block to see which line it was failing at.

Code: Select all

def check_ping(host,port):
    captive_dns_addr = ""
    host_addr = ""
    try:
        host_addr = socket.gethostbyname(host)
 
        if (captive_dns_addr == host_addr):
            return False
 
        s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        print "Created socket"
        s.settimeout(1)
        print "Timeout set"
        s.connect((host,port))
        print "Connection opened"
        s.close()
    except:
        return False
 
    return True
