Hi, well, when i download an image from a site, instead of download  
the required image it downloads an image which says “Allow Cookies”.  
How can i download that image?  
This is what i was using

writeOut = open(first\_page.to\_s + “.”+extension, “wb”)  
writeOut.write(open(img\_to\_download).read)  
writeOut.close
