copied!<p>What I suspect is happening is that the server is sending compressed data without telling you that it's doing so. Python's standard HTTP library can't handle compressed formats.<br>I suggest getting httplib2, which can handle compressed formats (and is generally much better than urllib).</p> <pre><code>import httplib2 folder = httplib2.Http('.cache') response, content = folder.request("http://www.boursorama.com/includes/cours/last_transactions.phtml?symbole=1xEURUS") </code></pre> <p><p><code>print(response)</code> shows us the response from the server:<br> {'status': '200', 'content-length': '7787', 'x-sid': '26,E', 'content-language': 'fr', 'set-cookie': 'PHPSESSIONID=ed45f761542752317963ab4762ec604f; path=/; domain=.www.boursorama.com', 'expires': 'Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT', 'vary': 'Accept-Encoding,User-Agent', 'server': 'nginx', 'connection': 'keep-alive', <b>'-content-encoding': 'gzip'</b>, 'pragma': 'no-cache', 'cache-control': 'no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0', 'date': 'Tue, 23 Aug 2011 10:26:46 GMT', 'content-type': 'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1', 'content-location': 'http://www.boursorama.com/includes/cours/last_transactions.phtml?symbole=1xEURUS'} <p>While this doesn't confirm that it was zipped (we're now telling the server that we can handle compressions, after all), it does lend some weight to the theory.</p> <p>The actual content lives in, you guessed it, <code>content</code>. Looking at it briefly shows us that it's working (I'm just gonna paste a wee bit):<br> <code>b'<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"\n\t"http://</code></p> <p><strong>Edit</strong>: yes, this does create a folder named .cache; I've found that it's always better to work with folders when it comes to httplib2, and you can always delete the folder afterwards.</p>
