Python SSL web page scraping

[Vadanane]

I'm using Python 2.7 with BeautifulSoup to scrape web pages, but I keep running across protocol errors that don't make much sense to me. This only occurs on the particular website for which I need to do this: https://edd.telstra.com/telstra


The code I use only for fundamental testing

#! /usr/bin/python

from urllib import urlopen
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import re

# Copy all of the content from the provided web page
webpage = urlopen("https://edd.telstra.com/telstra/").read()

And I get the following error (running on Ubuntu 12.10):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "e.py", line 8, in <module>
webpage = urlopen("https://edd.telstra.com/telstra/").read()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 86, in urlopen

self._sslobj.do_handshake()
IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 1] _ssl.c:504: error:1408F119:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac

Could someone tell me if there is some parameter that I need to specify to get this page to download in Python? It seems that this is the problem just on this web page as the code above (plus lots of other code I tried) works fine on other HTTPS/SSL pages I tried.

Thanks for any help!

There are severals big problems here.
Should not be needed now to say that you should be using Python 2.7,it has been dead💀 for 3-years now.
For the scraing part the url leads to a login page and not the main page,so copy content will only copy the login page.
So this is far away from working,to give some hint i would use Selenuim to do login to get to main page.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import time

#--| Setup
options = Options()
#options.add_argument("--headless")
ser = Service(r"C:\cmder\bin\chromedriver.exe")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=ser, options=options)
#--| Parse or automation
url = 'https://edd.telstra.com/telstra/'
browser.get(url)
browser.implicitly_wait(2)
user_name = browser.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#Username')
user_name.send_keys('login_name')
bus_id = browser.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#Business\ ID')
bus_id.send_keys('999')

So start like this then push login button to get to main page,then copy content may work or not at all.
It depends what main page data has available without requesting something.
