Thanks for the report. I've also tried it with firefox on windows.

Yeah - google search results aren't cached !! Perhaps anything in a
google domain ought to pass straight through. That could be done by
testing the domain and using urllib2 to fetch the page.

Have just tested the following which works.

Add the follwoing two lines to the start of the code :

import urllib2
txheaders = { 'User-agent' : 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;
Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)' }

Then change the start of the send_head method to this :

    def send_head(self):
        """Only GET implemented for this.
        This sends the response code and MIME headers.
        Return value is a file object, or None.
        """
        print 'Request :', self.path # traceback to sys.stdout
        url_tuple = urlparse.urlparse(self.path)
        url = url_tuple[2]
        domain = url_tuple[1]
        if domain.find('.google.') != -1:   # bypass the cache for
google domains
            req = urllib2.Request(self.path, None, txheaders)
            return urllib2.urlopen(req)
