I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but your regex pattern only 
matches up to the size. When you look for the referrer, the pattern 
expects two quotes but in your string you have "-" (quote, dash, quote). 
Thus there is no match (i.e. "match" is None) and the if-statement will 
print "not found".
