Looking at the BadStatusLine exception raised, the server response line is empty. Looking at the source for httpllib suggests to me that the server closed the connection early. Perhaps it doesn't like connections from urllib2? I ran a test pretending to be IE using this code: cookiejar = cookielib.LWPCookieJar() opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookiejar)) url = 'http://www.orange.sk/eshop/sk/portal/catalog.html?' \ 'type=post&subtype=phone&null' agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; " \ "NeosBrowser; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)" headers = {'User-Agent': agent} req = urllib2.Request(url, data=None, headers=headers) try: s=opener.open(req) except httplib.BadStatusLine, e: print e, e.line else: print "Success" but it failed. So the problem is not as simple as changing the user-agent string. Other than that, I'm stumped. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
