httplib won't accept URL with parameters (???)

[Phillip]

I've got some serious httplib Problem. Here's the relevant code:

USER_AGENT = "Navigator" # We have to give something, don't we?

class ServerGet:

	def __init__(self, host):
		self.host = host
	def fetch(self, path):
		http = httplib.HTTP(self.host)

		#write header
		http.putrequest("GET", path)
		http.putheader("User-Agent", USER_AGENT)
		http.putheader("Host", self.host)
		http.putheader("Accept", "*/*")
		http.endheaders()

		# get response
		errcode, errmsg, headers = http.getreply()


		file = http.getfile()
		return file.read()

CompareServer = ServerGet("www.server.com")
ComparePage = 
CompareServer.fetch("/grab/database/get-page/link=ddb_benutzt_a/00b-97rt692-8ab6561?view=fixed-thing&field-stuff-type=used&thing-number=3897211920&field-status=open&size=25&rank=+parameter")
# long URL, I know....
print ComparePage

The Problem is that CompareServer.fetch won't return anything(!!) I 
presume it has something to do with the fact that the URL that is passed 
on has a tail of parameters trailing and that httplib won't accept this.
Does anyone know how I can get this to work? Is it a 'GET' problem?
Note that httplib work perfect with the usual URLs that only have 
slashes in them.
What's the big fuss? Why doesn't ServerGet return something with that 
URL? Any clue?
Thanks for all help in advance.
