Trying to solve a python/mechanize "error 500" http error

[bruce]

i'm getting the following error:
mechanize._resp onse.httperror_ seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 500:

i'm running python 5.1
and mechanize 0.1.7b

I have no idea as to what I have to change/modify/include to handle this
issue. The link that I'm testing is at the bottom of the page. When I insert
the link into the browser, I actually get an err page.. so, I suspect that
there is a handler that I should be able to modify/use to handle this
situation...

Thoughts/Comments will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks


the output is:

www = www.1800ink.com
url2= http://www.quantcast.com/www.1800ink.com/traffic
Traceback (most recent call last):

my code segment looks like:
=============== =============== ======
from mechanize import Browser
import mechanize
br = Browser()
user_agent = 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT)'
values1 = {'name' : 'Michael Foord',
'location' : 'Northampton',
'language' : 'Python' }
headers = { 'User-Agent' : user_agent }

#br.set_cookiej ar(cj)
br.set_handle_r edirect(True)
br.set_handle_r eferer(True)
br.set_handle_r obots(False)
br.addheaders = [('User-Agent', 'Firefox')]

url2 ="http://www.quantcast.c om/xxxx/traffic"
#gets the page (url) from the quantcast app
url2=url2.repla ce("xxxx",url)
print "url2=",url 2
br.open(url2)

=============== =============== =========

this works ok for most of the sites.. but something weird is happening with
the actual page:

http://www.quantcast.com/www.1800ink.com/traffic

thanks...
