   Thanks for the report, that whole website is now down.

   I couldn't find a replacement at a new website, we can instead replace it with a recent Internet Archive link:

   @OmerFI Would you like to create a pull request? You can edit the page directly at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/howto/urllib2.rst

   Ping also @voidspace.

   @hugovk Thanks for the quick reply.

   The article uses python 2. So maybe it is better to remove this link?

   Or, I can create a pull request and replace the broken link with the Internet Archive link.

   Good point, yes, I think we should remove it instead.
