httplib

URL = "MY HTTP REQUEST URL" XML = "<port>0</port>" parameter = urllib.urlencode({'XML': XML}) response = urllib.urlopen(URL, parameter) print response.read() IOError: ('http protocol error', 0, 'got a bad status line', None) I am trying to send XML to a server and get back XML. Is there any way to fix / ignore this exception? I know that the status line is empty which is raising this error. Try to have a look what your server actually returns! It probably isn't a valid HTTP response. You could use something like this to send a raw http request to the server: from socket import socket host =

I'm writing a REST client for elgg using python, and even when the request succeeds, I get this in response: Traceback (most recent call last): File "testclient.py", line 94, in <module> result = sendMessage(token, h1) File "testclient.py", line 46, in sendMessage res = h1.getresponse().read() File "C:\Python25\lib\httplib.py", line 918, in getresponse raise ResponseNotReady() httplib.ResponseNotReady Looking at the header, I see ('content-length', '5749'), so I know there is a page there, but I can't use .read() to see it because the exception comes up. What does ResponseNotReady mean and why

I am making HTTP requests using the requests library in python, but I need the ip address from the server that responded the http request and I'm trying to avoid to make two calls (and possibly having a different ip address from the one that responded the request. Is that possible? Does any python http library allows me to do that? ps: I also need to make HTTPS requests and to use an authenticated proxy. Update 1: Example: import requests proxies = { "http": "http://user:password@10.10.1.10:3128", "https": "http://user:password@10.10.1.10:1080", } response = requests.get("http://example.org",

I've used two different python oauth libraries with Django to authenticate with twitter. The setup is on apache with WSGI. When I restart the server everything works great for about 10 minutes and then the httplib seems to lock up (see the following error). I'm running only 1 process and 1 thread of WSGI but that seems to make no difference. I cannot figure out why it's locking up and giving this CannotSendRequest error. I've spent a lot of hours on this frustrating problem. Any hints/suggestions of what it could be would be greatly appreciated. File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django

I have a site that runs with follow configuration: Django + mod-wsgi + apache In one of user's request, I send another HTTP request to another service, and solve this by httplib library of python. But sometimes this service don't get answer too long, and timeout for httplib doesn't work. So I creating thread, in this thread I send request to service, and join it after 20 sec (20 sec - is a timeout of request). This is how it works: class HttpGetTimeOut(threading.Thread): def __init__(self,**kwargs): self.config = kwargs self.resp_data = None self.exception = None super(HttpGetTimeOut,self)._

I was wondering, how do you close a connection with Requests (python-requests.org)? With httplib it's HTTPConnection.close() , but how do I do the same with Requests? Code is below: r = requests.post("https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json", data={'track':toTrack}, auth=('username', 'passwd')) for line in r.iter_lines(): if line: self.mongo['db'].tweets.insert(json.loads(line)) Thanks in advance. Felix Fung As discussed here , there really isn't such a thing as an HTTP connection and what httplib refers to as the HTTPConnection is really the underlying TCP connection which doesn't
