 Some things:

  http://foo.com

 This is not a valid URL.  The correct URL for the intended location here
 is:

  http://foo.com/

 This is the root of the problem, I suspect.  Firefox notices this problem

I doubt, if this is the problem, Jean.
I tried,
obj = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.wikispaces.com/";)

Ended up at the same problem as described in my original post.

 The tokens are different because these are values from actual requests.
 Notice the important difference, though - Firefox's request begins with
 a /.
Were those from the same site? I got different set of tokens as well.

 Likely, urllib2 should do a bit more validation of its input and make
 sure it is only making requests which follow the protocol.

I doubt if that was as simple. I am trying to figure out where the redirection
is getting lost of how firefox is figuring it out.
It *might* be a bad implementation that we are dealing, but still would like to
know where the problem escaping.

Adding the / to the end of the originally requested URL doesn't help.  The
redirect that wikispaces.com generates is also missing a /.  It's that
redirect URL which ultimately causes the problem.

It's pretty easy to see what's going on; start up wireshark and take a look.
