Accessing 'Google Code' down;pads using python.

[chunk_1970]

Hi All,

Im trying to download from my list of downloads under my GoogleCode page.

I can retrieve a list of the files by parsing the list.
Unfortunately when I try to download the data I get an error 403 forbidden. This is very strange as under python on my pc it works fine. Python on xbox is adding the User-Agent but this does not appear to stop the error from happenning. The url is valid as when cut and paste from the log it works and also cut/paste into python on my pc. Ive even tried urlretrieve but although it reports no errors it creates an empty file.

Any Ideas would be appreciated..

This is the link where my file exists that Im trying to get:
http://xbmc-torrrent-controller.googlecode.com/files/TestScript-2.05-Site.py

!Note the urlRequest and Open works without problems on any of my other communications in my scripts and only fails with this url. This is ofr testing my autoupdate procedure for one of my scripts..

Panic over...Urlretrieve was working but some old code was replacing the file with an empty one..
