You may try several things the simplest will be to point to the full resource and avoid the redirect, or you could have your client code handle those. if you want to go the second way and your client code is python take a look at http://docs.python.org/lib/http-redirect-handler.html on a side note why not set return_json=True instead of "parsing" the page, if the message are small they are several APIs for it in almost every popular language at json.org > Thanks, > > P. > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
