Doesn't work (was: Re: httplib won't accept URL with parameters (???))

[pythonhda]

I'm using python 2.2.1

This works for me...I get the source of the page:

import httplib

USER_AGENT = "Navigator"


class ServerGet:

    def __init__(self, host):
        self.host = host
        
    def fetch(self, path):
        http = httplib.HTTP(self.host)

        # write header
        http.putrequest("GET", path)
        http.putheader("User-Agent", USER_AGENT)
        http.putheader("Host", self.host)
        http.putheader("Accept", "*/*")
        http.endheaders()
        
        # get response
        errcode, errmsg, headers = http.getreply()

        
        file = http.getfile()
        data = file.read()
        http.close()
        return data

CompareServer = ServerGet("www.server.com")
ComparePage = CompareServer.fetch("/grab/database/get-page/link=ddb_benutzt_a/00b-97rt692-8ab6561?view=fixed-thing&field-stuff-type=used&thing-number=3897211920&field-status=open&size=25&rank=+parameter")

print ComparePage

Maybe our versions conflict? Check section 11.6.2 in the library reference. It is a little different from your version. I believe you're using an antiquated class "HTTP". The doc string for *me* says: 'Compatibility class with httplib.py from 1.5.'. So not being microsoft, I won't say "Upgrade!" :) - We're probably not speaking the same version...
