Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ed Watkeys (edw) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: urllib2 raises exception with non-200 success codes. Initial Comment: If a server returns a code other than 200, specifically 201 (Created), urllib2.urlopen will raise an HTTPError exception. I ran into this while implementing an Atom API client, which solicits 201 responses from the server when submitting a blog post.

Note that this behaviour can be configured by module users, since HTTPError exceptions support the urllib2 response interface. This can be done by replacing HTTPErrorProcessor, or by replacing HTTPDefaultErrorHandler, or catching the exception "manually". But maybe since the 206 issue was considered a valid bug fix, this is OK too. If so, it would be best if the other 20x responses were also considered at the same time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=971965&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
