I know how to do this with httplib, but I need to also set the user-agent and I'm sure you need urllib to do that. How can I get the http response codes with urllib?

A:
You can use .getcode() in urllib2 to get the HTTP code:
urllib2.urlopen("http://google.com").getcode()
Full headers with are in info() as a list:
urllib2.urlopen("http://google.com").info().headers

@carl: I think the first line of code should be `urllib2.urlopen("http://google.com").getcode()`

A:
Actually, httplib DOES allow to set User-Agent.
headers = { 'User-Agent' : 'someapp', 'Content-Type' : 'text/html' }
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(host, port)
conn.request('POST', '/foobar', 'mydata', headers)
