Hi Karim, When you hit the page and you get an HTTP redirect code back (say, 302), you will need to make another call to the URL specified in the "Location" parameter in the response headers. Then you retrieve that new page and you can check you got an acceptable HTTP response code (such as 200) and read the page's body (or whatever you want to do with it). Otherwise, keep looping until you get an expected HTTP response code.
Note: you may get stuck in an infinite loop if two URLs redirect to each other. You might want to take a look at the higher level httplib module: http://docs.python.org/library/httplib.html Although I don't think it can automatically follow redirects for you. You'll have to implement the loop yourself. If you can rely on 3rd party packages (not part of the standard Python library), take a look at httplib2: https://httplib2.googlecode.com/hg/doc/html/libhttplib2.html This one can follow redirects.
