pdf file will not download-CodePudding

For some reason I can't get this to download and the content type is html\text and not pdf. The downloaded pdf file is always very small and when I try to open it the file is corrupted.

import request

docketnumber='1'
r = requests.get('https://cases.stretto.com/public/X070/10255/PLEADINGS/1025505242280000000049.pdf', allow_redirects=True, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'})

print(r.headers.get('content-type'))

open('C:/MyDownloads/'   docketnumber ".pdf", 'wb' ).write(r.content)```

Try to change User-Agent:

import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://cases.stretto.com/public/X070/10255/PLEADINGS/1025505242280000000049.pdf",
    allow_redirects=True,
    headers={
        "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:100.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/100.0"
    },
)

with open("1.pdf", "wb") as f_out:
    f_out.write(r.content)

Saves 1.pdf:

andrej@andrej:~$ ls -alF 1.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 243976 máj 30 23:03 1.pdf

CodePudding user response：

Andrej has the correct answer above but if you want a single OS line:-

curl -A "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:100.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/100.0" -O https://cases.stretto.com/public/X070/10255/PLEADINGS/1025505242280000000049.pdf
