[Tutor] httplib2.RelativeURIError: Only absolute URIs are allowed. uri

2011-10-16 Thread pierre dagenais 

Hi,
I'm running python 3.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 and have a problem with httplib2. 
I'm not sure if it's my ignorance or a bug in the code.


This code works:

#! /usr/bin/python3.2

import urllib.request

sock = urllib.request.urlopen(file:///home/pierre/bookmarks.html)
htmlSource = sock.read()
sock.close()
print (htmlSource)


and so does this one:

#! /usr/bin/python3.2

import httplib2

h = httplib2.Http('.cache')
response, content = h.request(http://google.com;)
print(response)


but this one doesn't:

#! /usr/bin/python3.2

import httplib2

h = httplib2.Http('.cache')
response, content = h.request(file:///home/pierre/bookmarks.html)
print(response)

I get this error message when I run it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File Meteo5.py, line 6, in module
response, content = h.request(file:///home/pierre/bookmarks.html)
  File /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py, line 984, 
in request

(scheme, authority, request_uri, defrag_uri) = urlnorm(uri)
  File /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py, line 137, 
in urlnorm
raise RelativeURIError(Only absolute URIs are allowed. uri = %s % 
uri)
httplib2.RelativeURIError: Only absolute URIs are allowed. uri = 
file:///home/pierre/bookmarks.html



Isn't file:///home/pierre/bookmarks.html a valid URI? It works fine 
with urllib, why not with httplib2?

file://... is not a HTTP resource.
