requests.HTTPError uncaught after a requests.get() 404 response

Question

I\'m having a slight problem with the requests library.

Say for example I have a statement like this in Python:

try:
   request = requests.get(\'goog         


        

Answer 1

Running your code in python 2.7.5:

import requests

try:
  response = requests.get('google.com/admin') #Should return 404
except requests.HTTPError, e:
  print 'HTTP ERROR %s occured' % e.code
  print e

Results in:

File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 291, in prepare_url raise MissingSchema("Invalid URL %r: No schema supplied" % url) requests.exceptions.MissingSchema: Invalid URL u'google.com/admin': No schema supplied

To get your code to pick up this exception you need to add:

  except (requests.exceptions.MissingSchema) as e:
    print 'Missing schema occured. status'
    print e

Note also it is not a missing schema but a missing scheme.
