Again urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

Question

Hy! I tried to open web-page, that is normally opening in browser, but python just swears and does not want to work.

import urllib.request, urllib.error
f =          


        

Answer 1

This URL seems to be doing user agent string checking. If I adjust my user agent string in Firefox to Python-urllib/2.7, it fails with the Bad Request you are seeing.

As you are using urllib, you can adjust the User Agent following this tutorial

from urllib.request import FancyURLopener

class MyOpener(FancyURLopener):
    version = 'My new User-Agent'   # Set this to a string you want for your user agent

myopener = MyOpener()
page = myopener.open('http://www.booking.com/reviewlist.html?cc1=tr;pagename=sapphire')
