Hy! I tried to open web-page, that is normally opening in browser, but python just swears and does not want to work.
import urllib.request, urllib.error
f = urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.booking.com/reviewlist.html?cc1=tr;pagename=sapphire')
And another way
import urllib.request, urllib.error
opener=urllib.request.build_opener()
f=opener.open('http://www.booking.com/reviewlist.html?cc1=tr;pagename=sapphi
re')
Both options give one type of error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas?
This URL seems to be doing user agent string checking. If I adjust my user agent string in Firefox to
Python-urllib/2.7
, it fails with theBad Request
you are seeing.As you are using
urllib
, you can adjust the User Agent following this tutorial
