u = urllib2.urlopen(‘http://myserver/inout-tracker’, data) h.request(‘POST’, ‘/inout-tracker/index.php’, data, headers) Using the path /inout-tracker without a trailing / doesn’t fetch index.php. Instead the server will issue a 302 redirect to the version with the trailing /. Doing a 302 will typically cause clients to convert a POST to a GET request.
Directly from the docs you linked yourself: urllib.parse.urlsplit(urlstring, scheme=””, allow_fragments=True) This is similar to urlparse(), but does not split the params from the URL. This should generally be used instead of urlparse() if the more recent URL syntax allowing parameters to be applied to each segment of the path portion of the URL (see RFC … Read more
Python’s urllib.quote and urllib.unquote do not handle Unicode correctly urllib does not handle Unicode at all. URLs don’t contain non-ASCII characters, by definition. When you’re dealing with urllib you should use only byte strings. If you want those to represent Unicode characters you will have to encode and decode them manually. IRIs can contain non-ASCII … Read more
You are trying to quote Unicode data, so you need to decide how to turn that into URL-safe bytes. Encode the string to bytes first. UTF-8 is often used: >>> import urllib >>> urllib.quote(u’sch\xe9nefeld’) /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib.py:1268: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode – interpreting them as being unequal return ”.join(map(quoter, s)) … Read more
I suspect this is implementation-dependent. That said, for CPython: From socket.create_connection, If no timeout is supplied, the global default timeout setting returned by :func:getdefaulttimeout is used. From socketmodule.c, static PyObject * socket_getdefaulttimeout(PyObject *self) { if (defaulttimeout < 0.0) { Py_INCREF(Py_None); return Py_None; } else return PyFloat_FromDouble(defaulttimeout); } Earlier in the same file, static double defaulttimeout … Read more
The urllib package serves as a namespace only. There are other modules under urllib like request and parse. For optimization importing urllib doesn’t import other modules under it. Because doing so would consume processor cycles and memory, but people may not need those other modules. Individual modules under urllib must be imported separately depending on … Read more
As for me, the solution is as following (python3): resource = urllib.request.urlopen(an_url) content = resource.read().decode(resource.headers.get_content_charset())
For both Python 3 and Python 2, this works: try: from urllib.request import Request, urlopen # Python 3 except ImportError: from urllib2 import Request, urlopen # Python 2 req = Request(‘http://api.company.com/items/details?country=US&language=en’) req.add_header(‘apikey’, ‘xxx’) content = urlopen(req).read() print(content)
import requests img_data = requests.get(image_url).content with open(‘image_name.jpg’, ‘wb’) as handler: handler.write(img_data)
The getcode() method (Added in python2.6) returns the HTTP status code that was sent with the response, or None if the URL is no HTTP URL. >>> a=urllib.urlopen(‘http://www.google.com/asdfsf’) >>> a.getcode() 404 >>> a=urllib.urlopen(‘http://www.google.com/’) >>> a.getcode() 200
