title: Trouble downloading website using urllib(2) and requests - Bad status line
body: <p>I'm trying to download pages from the site
  <a href="http://statsheet.com/" rel="nofollow">http://statsheet.com/</a></p>
  
  <p>like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>url = 'http://statsheet.com'
  urllib2.urlopen(url)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried with the Python modules urllib, urllib2 and "reqests", but I only get error messages like "got a bad status line", "BadStatusLine" or similar</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get around this?</p>
