How do I use the socks module in Python to download a webpage?

Question

http://socksipy.sourceforge.net/

>>> import socks
>>> s = socks.socksocket()
>>> s.setproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5,"socks.example.com")
>>> s.connect(("www.example.com",80))
>>> 

After I connect to the proxy, how do I download a webpage?

Note: I do not want to use "setdefaultproxy". I already have working code for this method.

    socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, proxy_ip, proxy_port)
    socket.socket = socks.socksocket
    socket.setdefaulttimeout(3)
    my_ip = urllib2.urlopen('http://whatthehellismyip.com/?ipraw').read()

I want to use the "connect" method.

I'm guessing a bit here as I haven't used that socksipy module but...

you probably need to send a header first

s.send('GET / HTTP 1.1 / Host: localhost'); 

or some such.. "" might even work.

and then read the buffer from socket as in:

resp = s.recv(4096);

while (len(resp) > 0):
    print(resp);
    resp = s.recv(4096);
