What errors/exceptions do I need to handle with urllib2.Request / urlopen?

Question

I have the following code to do a postback to a remote URL:

request = urllib2.Request(\'http://www.example.com\', postBackData, { \'User-Agent\' : \'My User          


        

Answer 1

I catch:

httplib.HTTPException
urllib2.HTTPError
urllib2.URLError

I believe this covers everything including socket errors.
