help on HTTP 400 Bad Request syntax error on urllib2.urlopen

[icarreon]

Hi,
I have a piece of code where I log on to a web site - through a proxy server and using web site credentials. I log in just fine. Then I try to get into a page where I sent the session Id I got, the cookies seem
to be sent just fine but I get a HTTP 400 Bad Request. Please see the syntax of my request and let me know what I'm missing. I'd really appreciate any feedback on this!

Thanks a lot in advance,
Igor

import urllib, urllib2, cookielib
import requests
proxy_info = {
'user' : 'myuser',
'pass' : 'mypassword',
'host' : "myproxy.company.com",
'port' : 8080
}
# build a new opener that uses a proxy requiring authorization
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http://%(user)s:%(pass)s@%(host)s:%(port)d" % proxy_info})
cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
cookie_h = urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, urllib2.HTTPHandler(debuglevel=1) , cookie_h)
headers={'User-agent' : 'Mozilla/5.0'}
# install it
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
url = 'http://www.targetsite.com/[email protected]&user_password=myapppassword'
f = urllib2.urlopen(url)
html = f.read()
print html
url2 = 'http://www.targetsite.com/[email protected]&sid=329479960 HTTP/1.1'
response = urllib2.urlopen (url2)
html2 = response.read()
print html2

I get this back:
