18.5.2 Examples
Here is an example session that uses the "GET" method to retrieve
a URL containing parameters:
>>> import urllib
>>> params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
>>> f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query?%s" % params)
>>> print f.read()
The following example uses the "POST" method instead:
>>> import urllib
>>> params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
>>> f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query", params)
>>> print f.read()
The following example uses an explicitly specified HTTP proxy,
overriding environment settings:
>>> import urllib
>>> proxies = {'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080/'}
>>> opener = urllib.FancyURLopener(proxies)
>>> f = opener.open("http://www.python.org")
>>> f.read()
The following example uses no proxies at all, overriding environment
settings:
>>> import urllib
>>> opener = urllib.FancyURLopener({})
>>> f = opener.open("http://www.python.org/")
>>> f.read()
