Kent, Sorry I should have put my code. This is what I wrote import urllib import urllib2 f = urllib.urlopen("http://support.mywork.co.uk/index.php?node=2371&pagetree=&fromid=20397&objectid=21897").read() newfile = open("newfile.html",'w') newfile.write(f) newfile.close() print 'finished'
It runs fine but the file saved to disk is the information at : 'http://support.mywork.co.uk' not 'http://support.mywork.co.uk/index.php?node=2371&pagetree=&fromid=20397&objectid=21897"' (By the way the real url is http://support.mywork.co.uk as I don't what my boss to know I am doing this, in case I can't not get it to work, in which case he will say a waste of time. Of course if I do get it to work it will not be a waste of time). The bizarre thing is that for an address like :- 'http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=316298'. It works okay. Does that make sense. Thanks everyone for the help so far. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
