Not sure exactly what you have going wrong without the code or the exact url you are using.
Does something like: import urllib page = urllib.urlopen("http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/08/043236&tid=126").read() print page give you the correct results? Is the problem specific to only to that url? --Todd On Monday 08 August 2005 04:46 am, David Holland wrote: > Hi All, > I am trying to save to disk a webpage (so I can extract useful info) with a > url of type "http://xxx.co.uk/index.php?node=2371&pagetree=&fromid=20397". > However the following :- > urllib.urlopen, urllib._urlopener, urllib2.Request, > urllib2.urlopen,urllib2.urlretrieve just retrieve this webpage :- > http://xxx.co.uk (the root page) not the page I wanted to retrieve, any > ideas about to get the right page ?
