New submission from Chris Lasher <chris.las...@gmail.com>: This question is motivated by a question on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1824069/urllib2-not-retrieving-entire-http-response
In the event the user receives an incomplete response when using urllib2 (and urllib), the library should raise an error to indicate the response is incomplete. This is a matter of checking if the Content-Length defined in the header matches the size of the retrieved response. While this can be done by the user, an exception will help alert the more unwitting, such as myself, by failing early. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 95995 nosy: gotgenes severity: normal status: open title: urllib2 (and urllib) should raise error for incomplete response type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7445> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
