How to download chromedriver instead of webpage with python requests library

Today I'm creating a Python script to find a specific version of chromedriver here. My intention is to make a request to the URL containing the specific version of chromedriver I need to download and save it to the same directory as the script. However, each time I run my code to install a file, say chromedriver_win32.zip in this folder, I end up downloading the webpage it is stored on instead of the file itself.

Here's my script:

#Get the exact folder name containing the version we need to download
chromedriverVersionUrl = "https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_100"
response = requests.get(chromedriverVersionUrl)
latestVersionNumber = response.text

#Target the folder of the exact version we need to download and download it!
downloadUrl = "https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=" + latestVersionNumber + "/chromedriver_win32.zip"

#Make the request and write the response to a file
r = requests.get(downloadUrl, allow_redirects=True)
open('chromedriver.zip', 'wb').write(r.content)

Every time, chromedriver.zip ends up being a very small file that windows says is a corrupted zip file. I tried downloading the contents as a .txt file and it turned out I was just downloading the webpage.

I have tried using wget and the dload libraries to download this file in addition to requests, but they have all yielded the same result. Could someone please show me what I might be doing wrong?

Prop `className` did not match in next js app

I have written a sample code ( Github Link here ). this is a simple next js app, but giving me error when I refresh the page. This seems to be the common problem and I tried the fix provided in the internet but does not seem to fix my issue. The error is Warning: Prop className did not match. Server: "MuiBox-root MuiBox-root-1" Client: "MuiBox-root MuiBox-root-2". Did changes for _document.js, modified _app.js as mentioned in official website and solutions in stackoverflow. but nothing seems to work. Could someone take a look and help me whats wrong with the code? Via Active questions tagged javascript - Stack Overflow https://ift.tt/2FdjaAW
