urllib2.urlopen() vs urllib.urlopen() -当urllib工作时，urllib2抛出404！为什么？

Question

import urllib

print urllib.urlopen('http://www.reefgeek.com/equipment/Controllers_&_Monitors/Neptune_Systems_AquaController/Apex_Controller_&_Accessories/').read()

上面的脚本工作并返回预期结果，同时：

import urllib2

print urllib2.urlopen('http://www.reefgeek.com/equipment/Controllers_&_Monitors/Neptune_Systems_AquaController/Apex_Controller_&_Accessories/').read()

抛出以下错误：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 124, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 387, in open
    response = meth(req, response)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 498, in http_response
    'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 425, in error
    return self._call_chain(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 360, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 506, in http_error_default
    raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

有人知道这是为什么吗？我在我的家庭网络上的笔记本电脑上运行这个程序，没有代理设置--直接从我的笔记本电脑到路由器，然后再到www。

该URL确实会导致404，但包含大量HTML内容。urllib2正在(正确地)将其作为错误条件处理。您可以像这样恢复该站点的404页面的内容：

import urllib2
try:
    print urllib2.urlopen('http://www.reefgeek.com/equipment/Controllers_&_Monitors/Neptune_Systems_AquaController/Apex_Controller_&_Accessories/').read()
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
    print e.code
    print e.msg
    print e.headers
    print e.fp.read()
