Invalid Hostname error in scrapy

I'm a novice in scrapy and I have trouble. When scrapy make request downloading from:

http://cache.pack.google.com/edgedl/earth/client/GE7/release_7_1_2/GoogleEarth-Win-Bundle-7.1.2.2041.1.exe

I get an error:

twisted.python.failure.Failure exceptions.ValueError: invalid hostname: r2---sn-ug5onuxaxjvh-n8vs.c.pack.google.com

How to solve this problem?

On Windows you must use double inverted quotes ("url-path") instead of single inverted quote('url-path').

You need to put http address in inverted comma. As mentioned here for linux you can put address in single inverted commas '', but for windows users "" might work.
