"Connection reset by peer" means that the other side (the HTTP server
in your case) has closed the connection.

It may have looked at the "User-Agent" request header to differentiate
between a browser request and an automated (script) request.

To work around this, you may provide a "User-Agent" header
to your "urllib2.Request" (see the documentation) letting
the "User-Agent" to look as if the request had been done by a browser
("Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)"
indicates a firefoy).
