[Tutor] confusing HTTP error while using urlopen

[arsyed]

It looks like the site wants an Accept header. The following works:

import urllib2
url = 'http://www.anuntul.ro/'
headers = {'Accept': 'text/html'}
req = urllib2.Request(url=url, headers=headers)
rsp = urllib2.urlopen(req)
page = rsp.read()
print page
