Here's the problem: using Netscape 7.1, I type use the view page
source command (url is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain) and save the
raw HTML file and it's 67 kb, and has the addresses of all the images
in it. I want the exact same thing from my Python script, but I'm not
getting it. Instead, I get a file only 21 kb that has no image
addresses. Here's the code I use:
import urllib
f = urllib.urlopen( 'http://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/Cain')
data = f.read(9999999)
f.close()
f1 = open('junk.txt' , 'w')
f1.write(data)
f1.close()
Any ideas why I don't get the same result from the python script as I
do from a web browser? This problem seems to be a recent
development. The scripts I wrote like this worked fine for a while
and then stopped working within the past couple of weeks. 4 1675

Maybe it has to do something with your user agent string. The server
side can decide to return a different content when your user agent is
not 'mozilla', 'internet explorer' or 'opera' etc.
Do you want to know how to change your user agent string? Google for
it.... :-)

The server (that is, Wikipedia) may choose to send a different response
based on the User-Agent header you provide.

Thanks. That is the fix I needed. I added
urllib.URLopene r.version = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;
en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)'
as the second line of code and now it is actually getting content, not
just an error message. It's not the exact same format as you get from
saving the page from the web browser, but all the links and image
addresses are in place. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I'm using urllib.urlopen() to retrieve data via ftp. I'm using Tkinter
to display progress and so using a file even handler to read the data.
My question is whether there's some easy way to do a nonblocking read?
Here's a brief summary of the code:

I've got a strange problem on windows (not very familiar with that OS).
I can ping a host, but cannot get it via urllib (see here under).
I can even telnet the host on port 80.
Thus network seems good, but not for python ;-(.
Does any windows specialist can guide me (a poor linux user) to get

If you try to open a password protected page with "urllib.urlopen()", you get
"Enter username for EnterPassword at example.com:"
on standard output, followed by a read for input! This seems to be an
undocumented feature, if not a bug. Definitely the documentation for
"urllib" should mention this. The effects of this in a CGI program
are not good.
A workaround is described here: "http://cis.poly.edu/cs912/urlopen.txt"

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
