Urllib encodes as: "User-agent" The correct form is: "User-Agent" This is quite important, as it makes this library totally unusable for scraping moronic websites which require a recognized User-Agent string to work correctly, of which there are many. |

2275 hasn't been touched for almost 2 years. If there was a fix in v3.3, it ought to be backported. But it doesn't look like they ever came up with one. |

Calvin. - I shall act upon old bug. The tricky nature of backwards compatibility sometimes let's it stale because we can not come t a good conclusion. |
