Add an instance of your handler to the OpenerDirector. http_request() will be called with the request object as its parameter and returns the request object as its result. See the docs for BaseHandler.protocol_request (just after this link) http://docs.python.org/library/urllib2.html#urllib2.BaseHandler.http_error_nnn and look at the implementation of HTTPCookieProcessor for an example. Note you must have an implementation of <protocol>_request() for each protocol you wish to handle, e.g. http and https.
