Re: [Jython-users] is urllib compatible with jython?

[Scott H. <sl...@ho...>]

Finn,

Thanks for the tip.  That got rid of the codecs message.  Now, I get a java
security error.  Things work ok from jython, but when in an applet, I get
the error.  So, I guess that Java realizes that I am trying to download a
file and stops it?

Is there any way to do what I am trying to do (download a file without user
intervention)?

Thanks,
Scott
