parsing json output

[Gowri]

Hi,

I have a service running somewhere which gives me JSON data. What I do
is this:

import urllib,urllib2
import cjson

url = 'http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/cms/test/aprom/phedex/dev/gowri/datasvc/
tbedi/requestDetails'
params = {'format':'json'}
eparams = urllib.urlencode(params)
request = urllib2.Request(url,eparams)
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)    # This request is sent in HTTP
POST
print response.read()

This prints a whole bunch of nonsense as expected. I use cjson and am
unable to figure out how to print this json response and I guess if I
can do this, parsing should be straightforward? doing a
cjson.decode(str(repsonse)) does not work. In what form is this data
returned and how do I print it and later pass it on to another client
browser? Typing
http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/cms/test/aprom/phedex/dev/gowri/datasvc/tbedi/requestDetails
in my browser returns valid json data.

Regards,
Gowri
