HTTP Response Header Information in Python
Sometimes we need to get the HTTP Response header from our program. You can check the following python code, that prints the http response header: >>> import urllib2 >>> usock = urllib2.urlopen('http://bdosn.org') >>> print usock.info() Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:52:53 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.39 (Unix) PHP/5.2.3 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a FrontPage/5.0.2.2634a mod_ssl/2.8.30 OpenSSL/0.9.7a X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.3 Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html >>> If you want to get the value of a particular item, use the get() method: >>> print usock.info().get('Date') Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:52:53 GMT >>> Hope you will find this tips useful!
