How to check the url is either web page link or file link in python

Question

Suppose i have links as follows:

    http://example.com/index.html
    http://example.com/stack.zip
    http://example.com/setup.exe
    http://example.com/n         


        

Answer 1

import urllib
mytest = urllib.urlopen('http://www.sec.gov')
mytest.headers.items()

('content-length', '20833'), ('expires', 'Sun, 02 Feb 2014 19:36:12 GMT'), ('server', 'SEC'), ('connection', 'close'), ('cache-control', 'max-age=0'), ('date', 'Sun, 02 Feb 2014 19:36:12 GMT'), ('content-type', 'text/html')]

mytest.headers.items() is a list of tuples, you can see in my example that the last item in the list describes the content

I am not sure if the length varies so you could iterate through it to find the one that has 'content-type' in it.
