Making HTTP HEAD request with urllib2 from Python 2

Question

I\'m trying to do a HEAD request of a page using Python 2.

I am trying

import misc_urllib2
.....
opender = urllib2.build_opener([misc_urllib2.MyHTTPR         


        

Answer 1

you shoud not add HeadRequest to build_opener or add_handler it should be called like this

opener = urllib2.build_opener(MyHTTPRedirectHandler)
response = opener.open(HeadRequest(url))
print response.getheaders()
