[mod_python] Error in reading remote server file with HTTP

Rahul,

I believe you need to provide us with more details about the problem,
ideally example source code (relevant snippets) from your application
and directory listings (showing file modes) from the webserver you are
trying to access.

It is very difficult to help you when we have to guess the details.
