Hi, Is there a way to retrieve a web page and before it is entirely downloaded, begin to test if a specific string is present and if yes stop the download ? I believe that urllib.openurl(url) will retrieve the whole page before the program goes to the next statement. I suppose I would be able to do what I want by using the sockets module, but I'm sure there's a simpler way to do it.
