I am trying to do the following: <of course website.com is not the actual site>
import urllib url = 'http://www.website.com/file.shtml' dat = urllib.urlopen(url, 'r').read() print dat When I do so, I get the following data: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>405 Method Not Allowed</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Method Not Allowed</H1> The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL <P> <HR> <ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.27 Server at website.com Port 80</ADDRESS> </BODY></HTML> How can I make sure that I get the actual html data instead of the data from redirected URL? thanks, Harlin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
