Connection reset by peer means that the other side (the HTTP server
in your case) has closed the connection.

It may have looked at the User-Agent request header to differentiate
between a browser request and an automated (script) request.

To work around this, you may provide a User-Agent header
to your urllib2.Request (see the documentation) letting
the User-Agent to look as if the request had been done by a browser
(Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)
indicates a firefoy).
