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: Extension Modules Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: nikitathespider (nikitathespider) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Urllib2.urlopen() raises OSError w/bad HTTP Location header Initial Comment: The documentation for urllib2.urlopen() says that it "[r]aises URLError on errors". But if urllib2 requests a resource from a (misconfigured) Web server and that server returns 302 response with the Location header set to "file:", urlopen raises "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''". I have seen such a misconfiguration in the wild; I've also created a URL on my server that reproduces the problem in case the real-world URL disappears or is fixed. Both URLs are in the attachment with code to reproduce the problem. I can recreate this under Python 2.3 - 2.5 under Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Win2k. I would be satisfied if the module simply followed the documentation and actually returned URLError. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1591774&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
