Downloader.py not returning correct JSON object not working

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Follow installation steps
2. Run example-simple-download.py

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Downloader doesn't work -- isn't returning content back in JSON -- instead 
returning some temporarily moved statement

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest version of the example scripts and latest version of the google data 
python API as of 1/6/12

Please provide any additional information below.
A sample run:

C:\Users\XXXXX\Desktop\GoogleWebAPI>python example-simple-download.py
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/downloads-list?hl=en&siteUrl=neurolex.or
g/wiki  <--- spits out URL downloader.py hits
neurolex.org/wiki
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Moved Temporarily</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">
<H1>Moved Temporarily</H1>
The document has moved <A HREF="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=
en&amp;siteUrl=neurolex.org/wiki">here</A>.

    raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

Tried passing fully qualified domains as well getting the same output. One 
strange thing that is happening is that one the site that is added with an 
https full url with no data is working fine rest any other site is not working 
which are added in the account with all access. Please suggest
