Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: paul rubin (phr) >Assigned to: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Summary: urllib2 data argument Initial Comment: urllib2.Request takes constructor args (url, data, headers, ...) where data and headers are optional. data is described as a string which, if supplied, causes urlopen to process the request as a POST rather than a GET. And there's no way to set headers without passing a value for data. So if you want to send a GET with special headers, the docs leave you scratching your head. The solution is to pass None instead of a string for data. The doc should say that. In general the urllib2 docs are somewhat dependent on the urllib docs. Some refactoring would be good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M.
