When I try to read the contents of the webpage: 
http://www.ai-class.com/course/json/filter/QuizQuestion
using urllib.read, it doesn't read the entire content. 
This behavior is only seen on windows and the same operation works fine on linux machines.

Can you please provide a test case? What exact source code you are using, and what exact result are you getting? Attach those pieces as files.

This is the source code I am using. Even if I use any module other than urllib to read the contents, its not reading the entire contents of the webpage. This happens only on Windows.

The log file is also attached. This error is because the entire content of the webpage has not been read.

The code is pretty straight forward and works on Linux. Is the problem
with the download? If you open the json file, is it a valid one?

I have just tested this against the 2.7.1 release on Windows 7 and it runs fine. I suspect there may have been some transient error with the reporter's system or network, but if this still fails for him then reopening will be appropriate with more information about the exact nature of the fault.

Oops, sorry, meant to close this issue. Hope that's OK.
