With urllib, you can set httplib.HTTPConnection.debuglevel to see the HTTP conversation. But it doesn't work with urllib2. Can someone explain how to use it in conjunction with urllib2?
Longer story: debuuglevel is a nice debug tool that lets you see the client-server HTTP conversation: >>> import httplib >>> httplib.HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 1 >>> import urllib >>> testurl = "http://www.yahoo.com"; >>> f = urllib.urlopen(testurl) connect: (www.yahoo.com, 80) send: 'GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.yahoo.com\r\nUser-agent: Python-urllib/1.16\r\n\r\n' reply: 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n' header: Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2005 00:37:50 GMT header: P3P: policyref="http://p3p.yahoo.com/w3c/p3p.xml";, CP="CAO DSP COR CUR ADM DEV TAI PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi TELo OTPi OUR DELi SAMi OTRi UNRi PUBi IND PHY ONL UNI PUR FIN COM NAV INT DEM CNT STA POL HEA PRE GOV" header: Cache-Control: private header: Vary: User-Agent header: Set-Cookie: FPB=pkvre11vo11n2h6u; expires=Thu, 01 Jun 2006 19:00:00 GMT; path=/; domain=www.yahoo.com header: Connection: close header: Content-Type: text/html >>> Alas, it doesn't work with urllib2: >>> import urllib2 >>> f = urllib2.urlopen(testurl) >>> [silence] I need to use urllib2, because I need to include some headers, and as far as I can tell, urllib doesn't let you do that. The debuglevel issue was reported as a bug, 1152723,[1] but one of the comments is that the h.set_debuglevel(self._debuglevel) can be used to address this, on a per-connection basis. Leaving aside the issue of whether this actually is a bug or an imporvement, I don't follow the explanation. Can someone explain to me how to set the debuglevel using urllib2? Thanks!
