Senthil Kumaran <orsent...@gmail.com> added the comment: urllib and urllib2, by definition, returns a file-like object which provides a variety of facilities, most common one being a reading the object to get the content.
What you are asking for is, to read the content, verify if it matches the Content-Length header, and raise an exception, if the there is a mis-match. This facility may not be good idea to implement in library, while it can be (and should be) taken care by the client which is using the obj. I am -1 on this request and would like to close this as 'wont-fix'. ---------- nosy: +orsenthil _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7445> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
