I am writing a web scarping tool using mechanize. When I’m on my PC, it  
hangs on a form submission that is on a HTTPS:// page.

When I’m on my mac, it goes through, it just doesn’t pass the form  
validation.

Are there any known Windows issues with the open-ssl library or  
something with how mechanize does form submissions???
