Thank you for that pointer. The answer is: no, it does not match exactly. The browser did indeed, as you surmised, make a guess and correct the error. The browser added 'http://' to the beginning. When 'http://' gets added to the beginning of the url parameter, all is well. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
