Is it possible to inspect the attributes of an Python urllib2.Request (url, data, headers etc) when using an urllib2.OpenerDirector: cookie_jar = cookielib.CookieJar() opener = urllib2.OpenerDirector() opener.add_handler(urllib2.ProxyHandler()) opener.add_handler(urllib2.UnknownHandler()) opener.add_handler(urllib2.HTTPHandler()) op...
I have a script that fetches several web pages and parses the info. (An example can be seen at http://bluedevilbooks.com/search/?DEPT=MATH&CLASS=103&SEC=01 ) I ran cProfile on it, and as I assumed, urlopen takes up a lot of time. Is there a way to fetch the pages faster? Or a way to fetch several pages at once? I'll do whatever...
I'm still relatively new to Python, so if this is an obvious question, I apologize. My question is in regard to the urllib2 library, and it's urlopen function. Currently I'm using this to load a large amount of pages from another server (they are all on the same remote host) but the script is killed every now and then by a timeout error...

I'm using my own resolver and would like to use urllib2 to just connect to the IP (no resolving in urllib2) and I would like set the HTTP Host-header myself.

I've been reading about Python's urllib2's ability to open and read directories that are password protected, but even after looking at examples in the docs, and here on StackOverflow, I can't get my script to work. import urllib2 # Create an OpenerDirector with support for Basic HTTP Authentication... auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAut...

They didn't mention this in python documentation.

I switched to using LWPCookieJar because its supposedly fully compatible and also removed the login code into a separate function so that I can first test if I am login, and then ...
Hi guys.

I am trying to download content from a content provider that charges me every time I access a document. The code I have written correctly downloads the content and saves them in a local file but apparently it requests the file twice and I am being double charged. I'm not sure where the file is being requested twice, here is my code: ...
After scanning the urllib2 source, it seems that connections are automatically closed even if you do specify keep-alive. Why is this? As it is now I just use httplib for my persistent connections... but wonder why this is disabled (or maybe just ambiguous) in urllib2. ...
