Danny,
This script has to do two things:
1) Hit a site where I would like to download something
2) Read it what the file
3) Download it locally.
I'm a beginner, but according to what it is printing I'm thinking it is opening and is able to read the site (I'm wrong since I have been studying Python for the past two weeks).
import urllib
import sys
# Get a file-like object from the web and store it locally.
url = ""http://www.co.rowan.nc.us/enviroservs/planning_data/countyline.zip">http://www.co.rowan.nc.us/enviroservs/planning_data/countyline.zip"
# connect to the remote
try:
remote = urllib.urlopen(url)
except:
print "Connot open URL"
sys.exit()
# Read from the object, storing the page's contents in 's'.
s = f.read()
====I'm thinking that up to this level, the script is fine.=========
m = "D\\Temp\\file"
print remote.info()
m = urllib.urlretrieve ==> Not sure here
print "Content:"
print s
print "Download Done"
f.close()
