Hi, when I run the following code on a page containing errors such as 'Microsoft VBScript runtime error' ... the request fails and returns as urllib.error.URLError ... even though the page contains plenty of other code. How can I return ALL the html from the page and not just the exception error. I would like to keep my current code as much as possible (if that is possible). Thanks
