For starters the url is incorrect, it’s got a  
Semicolon mixed by a double quote

"urlopen error tunnel connection failed: 403 forribidden" indicates an  
issue with a proxy.  
But - there is some sort of typo again there (forribidden).  
No problem with being impatient but please pay more attention to your  
question/copy/pasting, to avoid wasting everyone's time here.

In any case, you've explicitly configured "use\_proxy: no".  
This leads me to suspect that your network might have implemented a  
transparent proxy.  
Can you confirm that the same request, from the same host, but done  
manually with curl, does work?  
Please post the evidence of that, so we can rule out any proxy issues.
