Ah - looking at the response headers, they include "Transfer-Encoding
chunked" - I don't think urlopen handles chunked responses by default,
though I could be wrong, I don't have time to check the docs right now.
The requests library (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests) seems to handle
them - http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#chunk-encoded-requests
