A. Please include the *entire* traceback, in the future
B. Please include a snippet of the code you're using, in the future
C. A bit less curt of a missive would also be appreciated

That all said, judging by the error message, it appears that the URL
you're trying to open has a double-quote (") as its first character,
which is obviously not permissible.
I can't be completely sure however, since you neglected to include the
entire traceback or any of your actual code.

Cheers,
Chris
