hi..

i have the following piece of test code. i'm trying to implement/check out
the follow-link method. i'm just trying to figure out how to get a link from
the page.

i was hoping that the regex would basically get the 1st url link...

any thoughts/comments/ideas as to what i'm doing wrong.

thanks

  br = Browser()
  br.set_handle_redirect(True)
  br.set_handle_referer(True)
  br.open(url2)
  #br.set_cookiejar(cj)
  br.set_debug_redirects(True)
  # Log HTTP response bodies (ie. the HTML, most of the time).
  br.set_debug_responses(True)
  # Print HTTP headers.
  br.set_debug_http(True)
  r2 = br.follow_link(url_regex=re.compile(r"\*"),nr=1)   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

  response = br.response()  # this is a copy of response
  print response.read()
