I will post an updated includes patch to bugzilla and note that a urlgrabber.py with urlopen support is required. > I will be posting a second email about the future of urlgrabber > shortly, which you may want to read :) It's kind of spooky that you could time that to hit my inbox right as I'm reading this. :0 - Ryan
