I doubt, if this is the problem, Jean.
I tried,  
>>> obj = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.wikispaces.com/")

Ended up at the same problem as described in my original post.

Were those from the same site? I got different set of tokens as well.

I doubt if that was as simple. I am trying to figure out where the redirection
is getting lost of how firefox is figuring it out.
It *might* be a bad implementation that we are dealing, but still would like to
know where the problem escaping.
