Logged In: YES user_id=31392 I think you need to review the current HTTP spec -- RFC 2616 -- and look at the section on redirection (10.3). I think urllib2 could improve its handling of redirection, but the behavior you describe from lynx sounds incorrect. I'd be happy to review a patch the implemented the current spec. Also, RFC 2616 removes the recommendation of a 5 redirect limit.
