[New-bugs-announce] [issue9655] urllib2 fails to retrieve a url which is handled correctly by urllib

[Albert Weichselbraun]

New submission from Albert Weichselbraun <albert.weichselbraun at gmail.com>:

urllib2 fails to retrieve the content of http://www.mfsa.com.mt/insguide/english/glossarysearch.jsp?letter=all

>>> urllib2.urlopen("http://www.mfsa.com.mt/insguide/english/glossarysearch.jsp?letter=all").read()
''

urllib handles the same link correctly:

>>> len( urllib.urlopen("http://www.mfsa.com.mt/insguide/english/glossarysearch.jsp?letter=all").read() )
