How to refresh the page in Mechanize?

Question

I'm using Mechanize in Python to submit a form and view some info. The URL goes to some standard URL for the request, without the request parameters in it. Something like: xyzdomain.com/request

In the browser, it normal shows a loading icon, then displays the data. There is no change in the top of the page (header) so the full page is never reloaded, but the URL does change from /index to /request.

About 1/3 of the time, I get a httplib.IncompleteRead exception and I checked the partial HTML of the response and the page is saying "If it takes longer than 25 seconds, refresh the page."

So if I grabbed the current URL of the Mechanize Browser and used open() on it, would that have the same affect as using refresh (if Mechanize had refresh).

Maybe this might help

br.set_handle_refresh(mechanize._http.HTTPRefreshProcessor(), max_time=1)
