When asking a question, it really helps to ask the question you want to ask, not some other question which you think is similar :-) Details matter. The "normal" way a redirect is done is to return a 301 (or 302) status code, and include a Location: line in the HTTP response headers. If that was the case, you would just do a GET on the url with a library like requests and examine the status code and headers in the response object you got back. This URL, however, doesn't do that. What it does do is include: <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=http://amazon.in/gp/offer-listing/B00AF856T2/?/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=3626&creative=24790&creativeASIN=9380349300&linkCode=as2&tag=mysm-21";> in the body, which does kind of the same thing, but in a horrible way. I suspect they do this provide a hook for the google analytics tracking code in the window.onload handler. Unless you wanted to include a full HTML and javascript execution environment in your application, you're pretty much toast here. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
