[issue25633] The documentation for urllib.request should mention http.client.HTTPException

[Irit Katriel]

Irit Katriel  added the comment:

Issue22797 was resolved by being more specific about when a URLError is raised, 
rather than mentioning other exceptions as well. Do we want to do more than 
that, or can this be closed as well?

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Closely related: Issue 22797 proposes documenting some circumstances where 
ValueError is raised directly. Perhaps you can review and enhance the patch 
already there.

Also related:

Issue 13736 proposes to wrap http.client exceptions (which I disagree with), 
and add extra wrapping for socket.error (which I may agree with for 
consistency), and document existing “exception leaks”.

Issue 6471 discusses awkwardnesses of getting at the underlying exception that 
URLError wraps.

[issue25633] The documentation for urllib.request should mention http.client.HTTPException

[jon orebro]

New submission from jon orebro:

The documentation for urllib.request should mention that a robust client using 
urllib.request must be prepared for exceptions of type 
http.client.HTTPException in addition to urllib.error.URLError.

Example: the server breaks HTTP and returns an empty status line and we get a 
http.client.BadStatusLine.
