Problems Retrieving a page using urllib2 in xbmc(python 2.4)
#1
Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the following url

http://videomasti.net//?p=747

and Here is the response I get inside xbmc

Code:
VideoMasti:Response  info Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:46:27 GMT

When I try to retrieve the same page using python 2.6 or firefox it redirects me to a new location. How do I get the url to this new location inside the addon. Firebug shows the first url returns HTTP 301 permanently moved. But I am getting HTTP 200 inside xbmc addon.

Try -
Code:
req = urllib2.Request(url)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
print response.geturl()
