title: IOError: Error reading file: failed to load HTTP resource, LXML error in Pythonanywhere
body: <p>I am having a problem using lxml with python 2.7. I tried installing lxml version 3.4.0 and 3.4.2 but got the same error no idea why tho. Here is my python code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@app.route("/getInformation", methods=['GET'])           
  def domain(): 
  
      urlList = []
  
      urlList.append("http://gbgfotboll.se/serier/?scr=table&amp;ftid=57109")
      urlList.append("http://gbgfotboll.se/serier/?scr=table&amp;ftid=57108")
  
      date = '2015-04-18'
  
      # use this in real mode: currentDate = (time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))
  
      homeScore = "0"
      awayScore = "0"
      homeTeam = ""
      awayTeam = ""
  
      time_xpath = XPath("td[1]/span/span//text()[2]")
      team_xpath = XPath("td[2]/a/text()")
      league_xpath = XPath("//*[@id='content-primary']/h1//text()")
  
      for url in urlList:
          test =  0 #remove this
          rows_xpath = XPath("//*[@id='content-primary']/table/tbody/tr[td[1]/span/span//text()='%s']" % (date))
          html = lxml.html.parse(url)
      ....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is the errors i get:</p>

  <p><strong>EDIT2</strong></p>
  
  <p>I recently found out that you need to have a payed account to access external websites. I bought an account and it still dont work however the error messages changed, For lxml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>IOError: Error reading file 'https://gbgfotboll.se/serier/?scr=table&amp;ftid=57109': failed to load external entity "https://gbgfotboll.se/serier/?scr=table&amp;ftid=57109"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and for urllib2</p>
  
  <pre><code>URLError: &lt;urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused&gt;
  </code></pre>
