New submission from Alex Quinn <aq2...@alexquinn.org>: When accessing this URL, both urllib2 (Py2) and urlib.client (Py3) raise an IncompleteRead error. http://info.kingcounty.gov/health/ehs/foodsafety/inspections/XmlRest.aspx?Zip_Code=98199
Previous discussions about similar errors suggest that this may be due to a problem with the server and chunked data transfer. (See links below.) I can't understand what that means. However, this works fine with urllib (Py2), curl, wget, and all regular web browsers I've tried it with. Thus, I would have expected urllib2 (Py2) and urllib.request (Py3) to cope with it similarly. Versions I've tested with: - Fails with urllib2 + Python 2.5.4, 2.6.1, 2.7.2 (Error messages vary.) - Fails with urllib.request + Python 3.1.2, 3.2.2 - Succeeds with urllib + Python 2.5.4, 2.6.1, 2.7.2 - Succeeds with wget 1.11.1 - Succeeds with curl 7.15.5 ___________________________________________________________ TEST CASES # FAILS - Python 2.7, 2.6, 2.5 import urllib2 url = "http://info.kingcounty.gov/health/ehs/foodsafety/inspections/XmlRest.aspx?Zip_Code=98199"; xml_str = urllib2.urlopen(url).read() # Raises httplib.IncompleteRead # FAILS - Python 3.2, 3.1 import urllib.request url = "http://info.kingcounty.gov/health/ehs/foodsafety/inspections/XmlRest.aspx?Zip_Code=98199"; xml_str = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read() # Raises http.client.IncompleteRead # SUCCEEDS - Python 2.7, 2.6, 2.5 import urllib url = "http://info.kingcounty.gov/health/ehs/foodsafety/inspections/XmlRest.aspx?Zip_Code=98199"; xml_str = urllib.urlopen(url).read() dom = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(xml_str) # Verify XML is complete print("urllib: %d bytes received and parsed successfully"%len(xml_str)) # SUCCEEDS - wget wget -O- "http://info.kingcounty.gov/health/ehs/foodsafety/inspections/XmlRest.aspx?Zip_Code=98199"; | wc # SUCCEEDS - curl - prints an error, but returns the full data anyway curl "http://info.kingcounty.gov/health/ehs/foodsafety/inspections/XmlRest.aspx?Zip_Code=98199"; | wc ___________________________________________________________ RELATED DISCUSSIONS http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/python/847985 http://bugs.python.org/issue11463 (closed) http://bugs.python.org/issue6785 (closed) http://bugs.python.org/issue6312 (closed) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 153581 nosy: Alex Quinn priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: IncompleteRead error with urllib2 or urllib.request -- fine with urllib, wget, or curl versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14044> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
