Summary: Cannot open a win32inet session

Initial Comment:
Can somebody confirm if the win32inet code is stable enough to use? I'm having trouble with very simple examples - and the functions do not seem to work as documented (either according to Microsoft or ActiveState).

In this example I'm trying to call a WInHttp function to get the proxy for a particular URL:

import win32inet
hSession = win32inet.InternetOpen("foo 1.0", 0, "", "", 0)
proxy = win32inet.WinHttpGetProxyForUrl( hSession, "http://www.foo.com", (0,0,u"",None,0,1) )

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\workspace\pythonscripts\excelpy_egg\src\calyon\excelpy\winhttp2.py", line 3, in ?
    proxy = win32inet.WinHttpGetProxyForUrl( hSession, "http://www.foo.com", (0,0,u"",None,0,1) )
pywintypes.error: (6, 'WinHttpGetProxyForUrl', 'The handle is invalid.')

Any ideas what might be going wrong here?

Thanks
