open site with urllib

[simian336]

Hey all,

Kinda new to python. Trying to use urllib to read a website. The problem is the site I need to read contains single quotes in the url like
[ignore]

http://serverIP:port/dataservices/cdk?SP=md_adm.login_with_session('USER','PW','mySID',?int

status)
[/ignore]
I have tried to encode the single quotes with unquote but it fails?

[ignore]
import urllib.request
import urllib.parse
x='

http://192.1.168.10:7780/dataservices/cdk?SP=md_adm.login_with_session('

x=x+urllib.parse.unquote('%27user%27,%27pw%27,%27mysid%27,?int status)')
print(x) #x looks correct at this point

v= urllib.request.urlopen(x)
print(v.read())
[/ignore]


raceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\python33\url_test.py", line 9, in <module>
v= urllib.request.urlopen(x)
File "C:\Program Files\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 160, in urlopen
return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
File "C:\Program Files\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 479, in open
response = meth(req, response)
File "C:\Program Files\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 591, in http_response
'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
File "C:\Program Files\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 517, in error
return self._call_chain(*args)
File "C:\Program Files\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 451, in _call_chain
result = func(*args)
File "C:\Program Files\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 599, in http_error_default
raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

Any ideas

Thanks Simian

Figured it out I was able to use

lin='

http://192.168.1.100:7780/dataservi...ith_session('User','pw','MySid',?int status)'
