59
60<P>
61<tt class="class">URLopener</tt> and <tt class="class">FancyURLopener</tt> objects have the
62following attributes.
63
64<P>
65<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">

68<dd>
69Open <var>fullurl</var> using the appropriate protocol. This method sets
70up cache and proxy information, then calls the appropriate open method with
71its input arguments. If the scheme is not recognized,
72<tt class="method">open_unknown()</tt> is called. The <var>data</var> argument
73has the same meaning as the <var>data</var> argument of <tt class="function">urlopen()</tt>.
74</dl>
75
76<P>
77<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">

90<dd>
91Retrieves the contents of <var>url</var> and places it in <var>filename</var>. The
92return value is a tuple consisting of a local filename and either a
93<tt class="class">mimetools.Message</tt> object containing the response headers (for remote
94URLs) or <code>None</code> (for local URLs). The caller must then open and read the
95contents of <var>filename</var>. If <var>filename</var> is not given and the URL
96refers to a local file, the input filename is returned. If the URL is
97non-local and <var>filename</var> is not given, the filename is the output of
98<tt class="function">tempfile.mktemp()</tt> with a suffix that matches the suffix of the last
99path component of the input URL. If <var>reporthook</var> is given, it must be
100a function accepting three numeric parameters. It will be called after each
101chunk of data is read from the network. <var>reporthook</var> is ignored for
102local URLs.
103
104<P>
105If the <var>url</var> uses the <span class="file">http:</span> scheme identifier, the optional
106<var>data</var> argument may be given to specify a <code>POST</code> request
107(normally the request type is <code>GET</code>). The <var>data</var> argument
108must in standard <span class="mimetype">application/x-www-form-urlencoded</span> format;
109see the <tt class="function">urlencode()</tt> function below.
110</dl>

112<P>

115Variable that specifies the user agent of the opener object. To get
116<tt class="module"><a href="module-urllib.html">urllib</a></tt> to tell servers that it is a particular user agent,
117set this in a subclass as a class variable or in the constructor
118before calling the base constructor.
119</dl>
120
121<P>
122The <tt class="class">FancyURLopener</tt> class offers one additional method that
123should be overloaded to provide the appropriate behavior:
124
125<P>
126<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
127 <td><nobr><b><tt id='l2h-3216' xml:id='l2h-3216' class="method">prompt_user_passwd</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
128 <td><var>host, realm</var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
129<dd>
130Return information needed to authenticate the user at the given host
131in the specified security realm. The return value should be a tuple,
132<code>(<var>user</var>, <var>password</var>)</code>, which can be used for basic
133authentication.
134
135<P>
136The implementation prompts for this information on the terminal; an
137application should override this method to use an appropriate
138interaction model in the local environment.
