urllib2

I'm struggling with the following question for the past half a day and although I've found some info about similar problems, nothing really hits the spot. I'm trying to send a PUT request using urllib2 with data that contains some Unicode characters: body = u'{ "bbb" : "asdf\xd7\xa9\xd7\x93\xd7\x92"}' conn = urllib2.Request(request_url, body, headers) conn.get_method = lambda: 'PUT' response = urllib2.urlopen(conn) I've tried to use body = body.encode('utf-8') and other variations, but whatever I do I get the following error: UnicodeEncodeError at ... 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in

I'm using the following code to get data from a website: time_out = 4 def tryconnect(turl, timer=time_out, retries=10): urlopener = None sitefound = 1 tried = 0 while (sitefound != 0) and tried < retries: try: urlopener = urllib2.urlopen(turl, None, timer) sitefound = 0 except urllib2.URLError: tried += 1 if urlopener: return urlopener else: return None [...] urlopener = tryconnect('www.example.com') if not urlopener: return None try: for line in urlopener: do stuff except httplib.IncompleteRead: print 'incomplete' return None except socket.timeout: print 'socket' return None return stuff Is

I need to make a cURL request to a https URL, but I have to go through a proxy as well. Is there some problem with doing this? I have been having so much trouble doing this with curl and php, that I tried doing it with urllib2 in Python, only to find that urllib2 cannot POST to https when going through a proxy. I haven't been able to find any documentation to this effect with cURL, but I was wondering if anyone knew if this was an issue? I find testing with command-line curl a big help before moving to PHP/cURL. For example, w/ command-line, unless you've configured certificates, you'll need

I need to get some values from this website . Basically I need to get the Area for every city. I am using Python and beautifulsoup for this.

I'm downloading an image from the web using urllib2. Once I have downloaded it I want to do some stuff with it using an image module called PIL. I don't want to save the file to disk then reopen but rather pass it from memory using StringIO from PIL import Image image_buff = urllib2.urlopen(url) image = Image.open(StringIO.StringIO(image_buff)) However when I do this I get the following error IOError: cannot identify image file <StringIO.StringIO instance at 0x101afa2d8 I think this is because I'm not passing a string but rather a urllib2 object/instance.
