Who here has a Youtube-DL compile for WinXP?

the answer from the developer is not bad, but he also say he dont know it so exactly either

but i would have to go with close to nothing to just write something to this

connections are made via winsock - here TCP/IP procolls and TLS (aka the named openssl) can be involved
if its a winHTTP request the HTTP request also sends what OS you are on - some actually then refuse the connection if they see this
that would be changeable

the idea going to a changed python yea - i also said that - even tho i had much less useful detail´s 

a other small idea is to look if the same code work for a other OS, if so its likely the internals (the functions that come next) somehow mess up
thats also what the python devloper said with other words 

the openssl problem might be possible to determinate by just trying a different OS - if it has the same code then its not openssl

a problem i can see here that this rely´s on script functions (low level) the next tier functions are deeper (like the named winsock)
if its somewhere at this spot you need to debug these functions - and see why they are breaking up
this is the other problem i talked about - if you would have a normal c++ style you could see the most internal functions 
(instead of only "connection failed" or something like "urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x032F9910>: Failed to establish a new connection")
