Couldn't just use another way to fetch that info?
I tried with urllib and urllib2, and both of them are having problems
with this thing.
wget is inmune to this problem :D, so we could replace the line:
"       print urlgrabber.urlread(url)"
with

print commands.getstatusoutput('wget' + url + '-O- 2>/dev/null')
