I'm using this method (inside a class). It works fine for me:
def getconnection(self,url,handle_redirects=True,headers={}):
"""Get a httplib connection for the given url.
@param url: Should be a relative path for the HTTP request.
@type url: string
@param handle_redirects: Set this to True if you want to follow
redirects (301 and 302). (default)
@return: The httplib connection for the specified (or redirected)
url."""
if url.upper()[:6] == 'HTTPS:':
conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection(self.host)
else:
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(self.host)
conn.connect()
if not headers.has_key("User-Agent"):
headers["User-Agent"] = self.agent
if handle_redirects:
# Now we handle 301 and 302 too!
conn.request("HEAD", url,headers=headers)
responseOb = conn.getresponse() ## Grab HTTPResponse Object
if responseOb.status in (301,302,):
url = urlparse.urljoin(url, responseOb.getheader('location',
''))
conn = self.getconnection(url,True)
return conn
I hope this helps.
