Here is an example session that uses the
"<tt class="samp
">GET</tt>" method:
<div class=
"verbatim"><pre>
>>> import httplib
>>> conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(
"www.python.org")
>>> conn.request(
"GET",
"/index.html")
>>> r1 = conn.getresponse()
>>> print r1.status, r1.reason
>>> data1 = r1.read()
>>> conn.request(
"GET",
"/parrot.spam")
>>> r2 = conn.getresponse()
>>> print r2.status, r2.reason
>>> data2 = r2.read()
>>> conn.close()
Here is an example session that shows how to
"<tt class="samp
">POST</tt>" requests:
<div class=
"verbatim"><pre>
>>> import httplib, urllib
>>> params = urllib.urlencode({'spam':
1, 'eggs':
2, 'bacon':
0})
>>> headers = {
"Content-type":
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
...
"Accept":
"text/plain"}
>>> conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(
"musi-cal.mojam.com:80")
>>> conn.request(
"POST",
"/cgi-bin/query", params, headers)
>>> response = conn.getresponse()
>>> print response.status, response.reason
>>> data = response.read()
>>> conn.close()
