I use:
opener =
urllib.request.build_opener(urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor())
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
I start scraping from http://page.com/home.html that need the cookies
enabled, then, once I found what I was looking for, I've got
http://page.com/pageX.html and http://page.com/pageY.html. Those page
cannot be viewed if I just copy & paste the url in the browser,
because they need the cookies.

What can I do?

Thanks,
Mattia
