in reply to Anyone know why I can't scrape this page?
Check your URL, please.
I copied it to my browser and got a "page not found", too.
Then I saw the URL itself:
Looks as if there are some bytes too much...
When I removed the '%C2%AD' from the URL, the page was found and I saw a table with game stats!
update:
I tested above with Firefox 2.0.0.16.
Same test with konqueror 3.5.9 is little different, because konqueror already shows a red '-' before the 'cfm' when displaying the page.
Opera 9.52 seems to remove the strange characters silently.
Update:
Stepped in a bad trap of auto wrap option.... whatever, still don't understand completely what went wrong.
