Read some from the fp and see if it is there the page is.. 

Or I think the easiest is to dig into urrlib or urllib2 and fix the
fetching yourself through "URLopener" instead of "FancyURLopener"
(used by urlopen per default), I think you can more easily handle
cases like this there.. Shouldn't be too hard.. if you know a little
python.

Alternative could be to use my homehacked similar lib.. give me a
call.. ehm mail.. ehm article ;-)
