Untested: import urllib url = 'http://groups.google.com/group/Google-AJAX-Search-API/ browse_thread/thread/a0eb87ad13b11762' opener = urllib.FancyURLopener() opener.addheaders = [('User-Agent', 'Fauxzilla 4.0')] data = opener.open(url).read() Hope that helps, --Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
