Yes, I realize this too, I think this should be considered as a bug in the documentation. > Your case seems the same, I would suggest you to look up the Python Tracker > for any already open issues, or if not kindly log one yourself. Didn't find one when i made a quick search, but i would suggest to submit a documentation bug. BTW, I find this recipe on python cookbook, http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/456195, works fine for me (with the two additionals comments in my case). We could add a pointer to this in the doc before fixing urllib2. What would you suggest ? > -- > O.R.Senthil Kumaranhttp://uthcode.sarovar.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
