I'm using urllib.urlretrieve() to download HTML pages, and I've hit a
snag with URLs containing ampersands:
http://www.example.com/parrot.php?x=1&y=2
Somewhere in the process, urls like the above are escaped to:
http://www.example.com/parrot.php?x=1&y=2
which naturally fails to exist.
I could just do a string replace, but is there a "right" way to escape
and unescape URLs? I've looked through the standard lib, but I can't find
anything helpful.
This works fine for me:
py> import urllib
py> fn =
urllib.urlretrieve("http://c7.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1516903
&c=4551022")[0]
py> open(fn,"rb").read()
'\x89PNG\r\n\x1a\n\x00\x00\x00\rIHDR\x00\x00...
So it's not urlretrieve escaping the url, but something else in your
code...
