11.4.2 Examples</A>
</H2>
<A NAME="Urllib_Examples"></A>
<P>
Here is an example session that uses the "<tt class="samp">GET</tt>" method to retrieve
a URL containing parameters:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
&gt;&gt;&gt; import urllib
&gt;&gt;&gt; params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
&gt;&gt;&gt; f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query?%s" % params)
&gt;&gt;&gt; print f.read()
</pre></div>

<P>
The following example uses the "<tt class="samp">POST</tt>" method instead:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
&gt;&gt;&gt; import urllib
&gt;&gt;&gt; params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
&gt;&gt;&gt; f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query", params)
&gt;&gt;&gt; print f.read()
</pre></div>

<P>
The following example uses an explicitly specified HTTP proxy,
overriding environment settings:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
&gt;&gt;&gt; import urllib
&gt;&gt;&gt; proxies = {'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080/'}
&gt;&gt;&gt; opener = urllib.FancyURLopener(proxies)
&gt;&gt;&gt; f = opener.open("http://www.python.org")
&gt;&gt;&gt; f.read()
</pre></div>

<P>
The following example uses no proxies at all, overriding environment
settings:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
&gt;&gt;&gt; import urllib
&gt;&gt;&gt; opener = urllib.FancyURLopener({})
&gt;&gt;&gt; f = opener.open("http://www.python.org/")
&gt;&gt;&gt; f.read()
</pre></div>
