@ -37,20 +37,20 @@ The :mod:`urllib.request` module defines the following functions:
|
|||
* :meth:`geturl` --- return the URL of the resource retrieved, commonly used to
|
||||
determine if a redirect was followed
|
||||
|
||||
* :meth:`info` --- return the meta-information of the page, such as headers, in
|
||||
the form of an ``http.client.HTTPMessage`` instance
|
||||
(see `Quick Reference to HTTP Headers <http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/http.html>`_)

Raises :exc:`URLError` on errors.

|

Note that ``None`` may be returned if no handler handles the request (though the
|
||||
default installed global :class:`OpenerDirector` uses :class:`UnknownHandler` to
|
||||
ensure this never happens).
|
||||
The urlopen function from the previous version, Python 2.6 and earlier, of
|
||||
the module urllib has been discontinued as urlopen can return the
|
||||
file-object as the previous. The proxy handling, which in earlier was passed
|
||||
as a dict parameter to urlopen can be availed by the use of
|
||||
:class:`ProxyHandler` objects.

Note that ``None`` may be returned if no handler handles the request (though

the default installed global :class:`OpenerDirector` uses

:class:`UnknownHandler` to ensure this never happens).
|
||||
|
||||
The legacy ``urllib.urlopen`` function from Python 2.6 and earlier has been
|
||||
discontinued; :func:`urlopen` corresponds to the old ``urllib2.urlopen``.
|
||||
Proxy handling, which was done by passing a dictionary parameter to
|
||||
``urllib.urlopen``, can be obtained by using :class:`ProxyHandler` objects.
