I found that you can't read from some sites using Python's urllib2(or urllib). An example...
urllib2.urlopen("http://www.dafont.com/").read()
# Returns ''
These sites works when you visit the site. I can even scrap them using PHP(didn't try other languages). I have seen other sites with the same issue - but can't remember the URL at the moment.
My questions are...
- What is the cause of this issue?
- Any workaround for this issue?
