works fine from MSIE, using this URL:

url = (
    "http://sourceforge.net/export/sf_tracker_export.php" +
    "?atid=105470&group_id=5470"
    )

returns a 1666445 byte large document (with no content
type), starting with:

<tracker version="1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://sourceforge.net/export/sf_tracker_export.xsd">

(this returns the bugs database.  see
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470
for atid's for other parts of the tracker)

doing the same through urllib doesn't appear work, though.

(no time to dig further into this right now)
