hi all,

ive resently started using python and over the weekend i did some basic scraping for video streams.

anyhow on this page click here (http://veftivi.visir.is/veftivi/main.do?treeid=1002&progid=siste) i dont seem to be able to get hold of the stream link automatically (i can do it by viewing the source manually)

im just wondering if it is possible to catch it and if so , then maybe a pointer on how to accomplish this.

like i said i got a hold on the page in my script but it never comes up with the link to the stream.

regards
arro

after further investigating this it seems that internet explorer works ok but firefox gives me the same page as i get in my script.

im just wondering if i can fool the page into thinking im using internet explorer or is this a lost case?

please, please comment , im absolutely stuck and i really would like to get this page working in my script.

thanks.
arro

edit your user-agent header to this:
mozilla/4.0 (compatible; msie 6.0; windows nt 5.1; sv1)
see if that helps.
