hi,

i'm trying to use httplib to fetch a file
automatically. it's basically just the
example from the 2.0 httplib GET example.

it works for all urls except for
http://www.deathinjune.net/html/news/news.htm

does anyone know why it won't work for this
url ? is there an easy way to fix it ?
i tried surfinf to the url in netscape and 
lynx. both worked fine.

--- program follows ---
#! /usr/bin/env python

import httplib

def fetch(domain, path):
    h = httplib.HTTP(domain)
    h.putrequest('GET', path)
    h.putheader('Accept', 'text/html')
    h.putheader('Accept', 'text/plain')
    h.endheaders()
    errcode, errmsg, headers = h.getreply()
    print errcode
    f = h.getfile()
    data = f.read()
    f.close()
    print len(data)

def main():
    fetch('www.brainwashed.com', '/c93/news1.html')
    fetch('www.deathinjune.net', '/html/news/news.htm')

main()

--- program end ---
