New submission from Santiago Velasco: I have noticed that urllib2 will always send the 'connection: close' in the headers, looking at the code there is no way to override this from outside of the open method.
I am currently working with a server that kills connection upon reading the header, and content will not get served, or only a partial bit of the content gets served, I have tried with several other agents, all are able to download the full content served by the server. I created a modified version without the 'connection: close' header and that solved the problem for me. I do not always have problems with that header, but I would like the ability to define my own headers, and since the connection: close header gets slapped inside an objects internal method, there is currently no other way I can bypass it. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 170473 nosy: sanxiago priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: urllib2 always sends header connection: close type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15943> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
