"Content-Length" header

[Justin]

URL open appears to not want to work unless its paramater is an actual
string spelled out in quotes.  Check out the output to this code.  When
I give urlopen objects instead of pre strings it doens't work
correctly.

print linklisttype

for y in linklisttype:
temp = urlopen(y)
print temp
temp2 = temp.info()
print temp2
temp3 = temp2.getheader("Content-Length")
print temp3
file_sizes.append(temp3)

print file_sizes


#This is the tuple with three urls in it, they all look correct to me

#here are the return values for y =0, didn't work
