urllib.request --- 用來開啟 URLs 的可擴充函式庫

原始碼:Lib/urllib/request.py


urllib.request module(模組)定義了一些函式與 class(類別)用以開啟 URLs(大部分是 HTTP),並處理各式複雜情況如:basic 驗證與 digest 驗證、重新導向、cookies。

警告

On macOS it is unsafe to use this module in programs using os.fork() because the getproxies() implementation for macOS uses a higher-level system API. Set the environment variable no_proxy to * to avoid this problem (e.g. os.environ["no_proxy"] = "*").

Availability: not WASI.

此模組在 WebAssembly 平台上不起作用或無法使用。更多資訊請參閱 WebAssembly 平台

urllib.request module 定義下列函式:

urllib.request.urlopen(url, data=None, [timeout, ]*, context=None)

打開 url,其值可以是一個包含有效且適當編碼 URL 的字串或是一個 Request 物件。

data 必須是一個包含傳送給伺服器額外資料的物件,若不需要傳送額外資料則指定為 None。更多細節請見 Request

urllib.request module 使用 HTTP/1.1 並包含 Connection:close header(標頭)在其 HTTP 請求中。

透過選擇性參數 timeout 來指定 blocking operations(阻塞性操作,如:嘗試連接)的 timeout(超時時間),以秒為單位。若沒有指定值,則會使用全域預設超時時間設定。實際上,此參數僅作用於 HTTP、HTTPS 以及 FTP 的連接。

context 有被指定時,它必須是一個 ssl.SSLContext 的實例並描述著各種 SSL 選項。更多細節請見 HTTPSConnection

這個函式總是回傳一個可作為 context manager 使用的物件,並有著特性 (property) urlheadersstatus。欲知更多這些特性細節請參見 urllib.response.addinfourl

對於 HTTP 與 HTTPS 的 URLs,這個函式回傳一個稍有不同的 http.client.HTTPResponse 物件。除了上述提到的三個方法外,另有 msg 屬性並有著與 reason 相同的資訊 --- 由伺服器回傳的原因敘述 (reason phrase),而不是在 HTTPResponse 文件中提到的回應 headers。

對於 FTP、檔案、資料的 URLs、以及那些由傳統 classes URLopenerFancyURLopener 所處理的請求,這個函式會回傳一個 urllib.response.addinfourl 物件。

當遇到協定上的錯誤時會引發 URLError

請注意若沒有 handler 處理請求時,None 值將會被回傳。(即使有預設的全域類別 OpenerDirector 使用 UnknownHandler 來確保這種情況不會發生)

另外,若有偵測到代理服務的設定(例如當 *_proxy 環境變數像是::envvar:!http_proxy` 有被設置時),ProxyHandler 會被預設使用以確保請求有透過代理服務來處理。

Python 2.6 或更早版本的遺留函式 urllib.urlopen 已經不再被維護;新函式 urllib.request.urlopen() 對應到舊函式 urllib2.urlopen。有關代理服務的處理,以往是透過傳遞 dictionary(字典)參數給 urllib.urlopen 來取得的,現在則可以透過 ProxyHandler 物件來取得。

預設的 opener 會觸發一個 auditing event urllib.Request 與其從請求物件中所獲得的引數 fullurldataheadersmethod

在 3.2 版的變更: 新增 cafilecapath

HTTPS 虛擬主機 (virtual hosts) 現已支援,只要 ssl.HAS_SNI 的值為 true。

data 可以是一個可疊代物件。

在 3.3 版的變更: cadefault 被新增。

在 3.4.3 版的變更: context 被新增。

在 3.10 版的變更: context 沒有被指定時,HTTPS 連線現在會傳送一個帶有協定指示器 http/1.1 的 ALPN 擴充 (extension)。自訂的 context 應該利用 set_alpn_protocols() 來自行設定 ALPN 協定。

在 3.13 版的變更: Remove cafile, capath and cadefault parameters: use the context parameter instead.

urllib.request.install_opener(opener)

安裝一個 OpenerDirector 實例作為預設的全域 opener。僅在當你想要讓 urlopen 使用該 opener 時安裝一個 opener,否則的話應直接呼叫 OpenerDirector.open() 而非 urlopen()。程式碼不會檢查 class 是否真的為 OpenerDirector,而是任何具有正確介面的 class 都能適用。

urllib.request.build_opener([handler, ...])

回傳一個 OpenerDirector 實例,以給定的順序把 handlers 串接起來。handlers 可以是 BaseHandler 的實例,亦或是 BaseHandler 的 subclasses(這個情況下必須有不帶參數的建構函式能夠被呼叫)。以下 classes 的實例順位會在 handlers 之前,除非 handlers 已經包含它們,是它們的實例,或是它們的 subclasses:ProxyHandler(如果代理服務設定被偵測到)、UnknownHandlerHTTPHandlerHTTPDefaultErrorHandlerHTTPRedirectHandlerFTPHandlerFileHandlerHTTPErrorProcessor

如果 Python 安裝時已帶有 SSL 支援(如果 ssl module 能夠被 import),則 HTTPSHandler 也在上述 class 之中。

一個 BaseHandler 的 subclass 可能透過改變其 handler_order 屬性來調整它在 handlers list 中的位置。

urllib.request.pathname2url(path)

將路徑名 path 從路徑的本地語法 (local syntax) 轉換為 URL 中的 path component(路徑元件)格式。本函式並不會產生完整的 URL。回傳值將使用 quote() 函式先進行編碼過。

urllib.request.url2pathname(path)

將一個用 "%" 編碼過的 URL path component path 轉換為路徑的本地語法 (local syntax)。本函式並不接受完整的 URL。本函式使用 unquote() 來將 path 解碼。

urllib.request.getproxies()

這個輔助函式 (helper function) 回傳一個代理伺服器 URL mappings(對映)的 dictionary。在所有的作業系統中,它首先掃描環境中有著 <scheme>_proxy 名稱的變數(忽略大小寫的),如果找不到的話就會在 macOS 中的系統設定 (System Configuration) 或是 Windows 系統中的 Windows Systems Registry 尋找代理服務設定。如果大小寫的環境變數同時存在且值有不同,小寫的環境變數會被選用。

備註

如果環境變數 REQUEST_METHOD 有被設置(通常這代表著你的 script 是運行在一個共用閘道介面 (CGI) 環境中),那麼環境變數 HTTP_PROXY (大寫的 _PROXY)將被忽略。這是因為變數可以透過使用 "Proxy:" HTTP header 被注入。如果需要在共用閘道介面環境中使用 HTTP 代理服務,可以明確使用 ProxyHandler,亦或是確認變數名稱是小寫的(或至少 _proxy 後綴是小寫的)。

提供了以下的 classes:

class urllib.request.Request(url, data=None, headers={}, origin_req_host=None, unverifiable=False, method=None)

這個 class 是一個 URL 請求的抽象 class。

url 是一個包含有效且適當編碼的 URL 字串。

data 必須是一個包含要送到伺服器的附加資料的物件,若不需帶附加資料則其值應為 None。目前 HTTP 請求是唯一有使用 data 參數的,其支援的物件型別包含位元組、類檔案物件 (file-like objects)、以及可疊代的類位元組串物件 (bytes-like objects)。如果沒有提供 Content-LengthTransfer-Encoding headers 欄位,HTTPHandler 將會根據 data 的型別設置這些 header。Content-Length 會被用來傳送位元組串物件,而 RFC 7230 章節 3.3.1 所定義的 Transfer-Encoding: chunked 則會被用來傳送檔案或是其它可疊代物件 (iterables)。

對於一個 HTTP POST 請求方法,data 應為一個標準 application/x-www-form-urlencoded 格式的 buffer。urllib.parse.urlencode() 方法接受一個 mapping 或是 sequence(序列)的 2-tuples,並回傳一個對應格式的 ASCII 字串。在被作為 data 參數前它應該被編碼成位元組串。

headers 必須是一個 dictionary,並會被視為如同每對 key 和 value 作為引數來呼叫 add_header()。經常用於「偽裝」 User-Agent header 的值,這個 header 是用來讓一個瀏覽器向伺服器表明自己的身分 --- 有些 HTTP 伺服器僅允許來自普通瀏覽器的請求,而不接受來自程式腳本的請求。例如,Mozilla Firefox 會將 header 的值設為 "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11",而 urllib 的值則是 "Python-urllib/2.6"(在 Python 2.6 上)。所有 header 的鍵都會以 camel case(駝峰式大小寫)來傳送。

當有給定 data 引數時,一個適當的 Content-Type header 應該被設置。如果這個 header 沒有被提供且 data 也不為 None 時,預設值 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded 會被新增至請求中。

接下來的兩個引數的介紹提供給那些有興趣正確處理第三方 HTTP cookies 的使用者:

origin_req_host 應為原始傳輸互動的請求主機 (request-host),如同在 RFC 2965 中的定義。預設值為 http.cookiejar.request_host(self)。這是使用者發起的原始請求的主機名稱或是 IP 位址。例如當請求是要求一個 HTML 文件中的一個影像,則這個屬性應為請求包含影像頁面的請求主機。

unverifiable 應該標示一個請求是否是無法驗證的,如同在 RFC 2965 中的定義。其預設值為 False。一個無法驗證的請求是指使用者沒有機會去批准請求的 URL,例如一個對於 HTML 文件中的影像所做的請求,而使用者沒有機會去批准是否能自動擷取影像,則這個值應該為 true。

method 應為一個標示 HTTP 請求方法的字串(例如:'HEAD')。如果有提供值,則會被存在 method 屬性中且被 get_method() 所使用。當 dataNone 時,其預設值為 'GET',否則預設值為 'POST'。Subclasses 可以透過設置其 method 屬性來設定不一樣的預設請求方法。

備註

如果資料物件無法重複提供其內容(例如一個檔案或是只能產生一次內容的可疊代物件)且請求因為 HTTP 重導向 (redirects) 或是 HTTP 驗證 (authentication) 而被重新嘗試傳送,則該請求不會正常運作。data 會接在 headers 之後被送至 HTTP 伺服器。此函式庫沒有支援 100-continue expectation。

在 3.3 版的變更: 新增 Request.method 引數到 Request class。

在 3.4 版的變更: 能夠在 class 中設置預設的 Request.method

在 3.6 版的變更: 如果 Content-Length 尚未被提供且 data 既不是 None 也不是一個位元組串物件,則不會觸發錯誤,並 fall back(後備)使用分塊傳輸編碼 (chunked transfer encoding)。

class urllib.request.OpenerDirector

The OpenerDirector class opens URLs via BaseHandlers chained together. It manages the chaining of handlers, and recovery from errors.

class urllib.request.BaseHandler

This is the base class for all registered handlers --- and handles only the simple mechanics of registration.

class urllib.request.HTTPDefaultErrorHandler

A class which defines a default handler for HTTP error responses; all responses are turned into HTTPError exceptions.

class urllib.request.HTTPRedirectHandler

A class to handle redirections.

class urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookiejar=None)

A class to handle HTTP Cookies.

class urllib.request.ProxyHandler(proxies=None)

Cause requests to go through a proxy. If proxies is given, it must be a dictionary mapping protocol names to URLs of proxies. The default is to read the list of proxies from the environment variables <protocol>_proxy. If no proxy environment variables are set, then in a Windows environment proxy settings are obtained from the registry's Internet Settings section, and in a macOS environment proxy information is retrieved from the System Configuration Framework.

To disable autodetected proxy pass an empty dictionary.

The no_proxy environment variable can be used to specify hosts which shouldn't be reached via proxy; if set, it should be a comma-separated list of hostname suffixes, optionally with :port appended, for example cern.ch,ncsa.uiuc.edu,some.host:8080.

備註

HTTP_PROXY will be ignored if a variable REQUEST_METHOD is set; see the documentation on getproxies().

class urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr

Keep a database of (realm, uri) -> (user, password) mappings.

class urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm

Keep a database of (realm, uri) -> (user, password) mappings. A realm of None is considered a catch-all realm, which is searched if no other realm fits.

class urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth

A variant of HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm that also has a database of uri -> is_authenticated mappings. Can be used by a BasicAuth handler to determine when to send authentication credentials immediately instead of waiting for a 401 response first.

在 3.5 版被加入.

class urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)

This is a mixin class that helps with HTTP authentication, both to the remote host and to a proxy. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr 物件 for information on the interface that must be supported. If passwd_mgr also provides is_authenticated and update_authenticated methods (see HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth 物件), then the handler will use the is_authenticated result for a given URI to determine whether or not to send authentication credentials with the request. If is_authenticated returns True for the URI, credentials are sent. If is_authenticated is False, credentials are not sent, and then if a 401 response is received the request is re-sent with the authentication credentials. If authentication succeeds, update_authenticated is called to set is_authenticated True for the URI, so that subsequent requests to the URI or any of its super-URIs will automatically include the authentication credentials.

在 3.5 版被加入: 新增 is_authenticated 的支援。

class urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)

Handle authentication with the remote host. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr 物件 for information on the interface that must be supported. HTTPBasicAuthHandler will raise a ValueError when presented with a wrong Authentication scheme.

class urllib.request.ProxyBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)

Handle authentication with the proxy. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr 物件 for information on the interface that must be supported.

class urllib.request.AbstractDigestAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)

This is a mixin class that helps with HTTP authentication, both to the remote host and to a proxy. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr 物件 for information on the interface that must be supported.

class urllib.request.HTTPDigestAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)

Handle authentication with the remote host. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr 物件 for information on the interface that must be supported. When both Digest Authentication Handler and Basic Authentication Handler are both added, Digest Authentication is always tried first. If the Digest Authentication returns a 40x response again, it is sent to Basic Authentication handler to Handle. This Handler method will raise a ValueError when presented with an authentication scheme other than Digest or Basic.

在 3.3 版的變更: Raise ValueError on unsupported Authentication Scheme.

class urllib.request.ProxyDigestAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)

Handle authentication with the proxy. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr 物件 for information on the interface that must be supported.

class urllib.request.HTTPHandler

A class to handle opening of HTTP URLs.

class urllib.request.HTTPSHandler(debuglevel=0, context=None, check_hostname=None)

A class to handle opening of HTTPS URLs. context and check_hostname have the same meaning as in http.client.HTTPSConnection.

在 3.2 版的變更: 新增 contextcheck_hostname

class urllib.request.FileHandler

Open local files.

class urllib.request.DataHandler

Open data URLs.

在 3.4 版被加入.

class urllib.request.FTPHandler

Open FTP URLs.

class urllib.request.CacheFTPHandler

Open FTP URLs, keeping a cache of open FTP connections to minimize delays.

class urllib.request.UnknownHandler

A catch-all class to handle unknown URLs.

class urllib.request.HTTPErrorProcessor

Process HTTP error responses.

Request Objects

The following methods describe Request's public interface, and so all may be overridden in subclasses. It also defines several public attributes that can be used by clients to inspect the parsed request.

Request.full_url

The original URL passed to the constructor.

在 3.4 版的變更.

Request.full_url is a property with setter, getter and a deleter. Getting full_url returns the original request URL with the fragment, if it was present.

Request.type

The URI scheme.

Request.host

The URI authority, typically a host, but may also contain a port separated by a colon.

Request.origin_req_host

The original host for the request, without port.

Request.selector

The URI path. If the Request uses a proxy, then selector will be the full URL that is passed to the proxy.

Request.data

The entity body for the request, or None if not specified.

在 3.4 版的變更: Changing value of Request.data now deletes "Content-Length" header if it was previously set or calculated.

Request.unverifiable

boolean, indicates whether the request is unverifiable as defined by RFC 2965.

Request.method

The HTTP request method to use. By default its value is None, which means that get_method() will do its normal computation of the method to be used. Its value can be set (thus overriding the default computation in get_method()) either by providing a default value by setting it at the class level in a Request subclass, or by passing a value in to the Request constructor via the method argument.

在 3.3 版被加入.

在 3.4 版的變更: A default value can now be set in subclasses; previously it could only be set via the constructor argument.

Request.get_method()

Return a string indicating the HTTP request method. If Request.method is not None, return its value, otherwise return 'GET' if Request.data is None, or 'POST' if it's not. This is only meaningful for HTTP requests.

在 3.3 版的變更: get_method now looks at the value of Request.method.

Request.add_header(key, val)

Add another header to the request. Headers are currently ignored by all handlers except HTTP handlers, where they are added to the list of headers sent to the server. Note that there cannot be more than one header with the same name, and later calls will overwrite previous calls in case the key collides. Currently, this is no loss of HTTP functionality, since all headers which have meaning when used more than once have a (header-specific) way of gaining the same functionality using only one header. Note that headers added using this method are also added to redirected requests.

Request.add_unredirected_header(key, header)

Add a header that will not be added to a redirected request.

Request.has_header(header)

Return whether the instance has the named header (checks both regular and unredirected).

Request.remove_header(header)

Remove named header from the request instance (both from regular and unredirected headers).

在 3.4 版被加入.

Request.get_full_url()

Return the URL given in the constructor.

在 3.4 版的變更.

Returns Request.full_url

Request.set_proxy(host, type)

Prepare the request by connecting to a proxy server. The host and type will replace those of the instance, and the instance's selector will be the original URL given in the constructor.

Request.get_header(header_name, default=None)

Return the value of the given header. If the header is not present, return the default value.

Request.header_items()

Return a list of tuples (header_name, header_value) of the Request headers.

在 3.4 版的變更: The request methods add_data, has_data, get_data, get_type, get_host, get_selector, get_origin_req_host and is_unverifiable that were deprecated since 3.3 have been removed.

OpenerDirector 物件

OpenerDirector instances have the following methods:

OpenerDirector.add_handler(handler)

handler should be an instance of BaseHandler. The following methods are searched, and added to the possible chains (note that HTTP errors are a special case). Note that, in the following, protocol should be replaced with the actual protocol to handle, for example http_response() would be the HTTP protocol response handler. Also type should be replaced with the actual HTTP code, for example http_error_404() would handle HTTP 404 errors.

  • <protocol>_open() --- signal that the handler knows how to open protocol URLs.

    更多資訊請見 BaseHandler.<protocol>_open()

  • http_error_<type>() --- signal that the handler knows how to handle HTTP errors with HTTP error code type.

    更多資訊請見 BaseHandler.http_error_<nnn>()

  • <protocol>_error() --- signal that the handler knows how to handle errors from (non-http) protocol.

  • <protocol>_request() --- signal that the handler knows how to pre-process protocol requests.

    更多資訊請見 BaseHandler.<protocol>_request()

  • <protocol>_response() --- signal that the handler knows how to post-process protocol responses.

    更多資訊請見 BaseHandler.<protocol>_response()

OpenerDirector.open(url, data=None[, timeout])

Open the given url (which can be a request object or a string), optionally passing the given data. Arguments, return values and exceptions raised are the same as those of urlopen() (which simply calls the open() method on the currently installed global OpenerDirector). The optional timeout parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for blocking operations like the connection attempt (if not specified, the global default timeout setting will be used). The timeout feature actually works only for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP connections.

OpenerDirector.error(proto, *args)

Handle an error of the given protocol. This will call the registered error handlers for the given protocol with the given arguments (which are protocol specific). The HTTP protocol is a special case which uses the HTTP response code to determine the specific error handler; refer to the http_error_<type>() methods of the handler classes.

Return values and exceptions raised are the same as those of urlopen().

OpenerDirector objects open URLs in three stages:

The order in which these methods are called within each stage is determined by sorting the handler instances.

  1. Every handler with a method named like <protocol>_request() has that method called to pre-process the request.

  2. Handlers with a method named like <protocol>_open() are called to handle the request. This stage ends when a handler either returns a non-None value (ie. a response), or raises an exception (usually URLError). Exceptions are allowed to propagate.

    In fact, the above algorithm is first tried for methods named default_open(). If all such methods return None, the algorithm is repeated for methods named like <protocol>_open(). If all such methods return None, the algorithm is repeated for methods named unknown_open().

    Note that the implementation of these methods may involve calls of the parent OpenerDirector instance's open() and error() methods.

  3. Every handler with a method named like <protocol>_response() has that method called to post-process the response.

BaseHandler 物件

BaseHandler objects provide a couple of methods that are directly useful, and others that are meant to be used by derived classes. These are intended for direct use:

BaseHandler.add_parent(director)

Add a director as parent.

BaseHandler.close()

Remove any parents.

The following attribute and methods should only be used by classes derived from BaseHandler.

備註

The convention has been adopted that subclasses defining <protocol>_request() or <protocol>_response() methods are named *Processor; all others are named *Handler.

BaseHandler.parent

A valid OpenerDirector, which can be used to open using a different protocol, or handle errors.

BaseHandler.default_open(req)

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to catch all URLs.

This method, if implemented, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. It should return a file-like object as described in the return value of the open() method of OpenerDirector, or None. It should raise URLError, unless a truly exceptional thing happens (for example, MemoryError should not be mapped to URLError).

This method will be called before any protocol-specific open method.

BaseHandler.<protocol>_open(req)

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to handle URLs with the given protocol.

This method, if defined, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. Return values should be the same as for default_open().

BaseHandler.unknown_open(req)

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to catch all URLs with no specific registered handler to open it.

This method, if implemented, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. Return values should be the same as for default_open().

BaseHandler.http_error_default(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should override it if they intend to provide a catch-all for otherwise unhandled HTTP errors. It will be called automatically by the OpenerDirector getting the error, and should not normally be called in other circumstances.

req will be a Request object, fp will be a file-like object with the HTTP error body, code will be the three-digit code of the error, msg will be the user-visible explanation of the code and hdrs will be a mapping object with the headers of the error.

Return values and exceptions raised should be the same as those of urlopen().

BaseHandler.http_error_<nnn>(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

nnn should be a three-digit HTTP error code. This method is also not defined in BaseHandler, but will be called, if it exists, on an instance of a subclass, when an HTTP error with code nnn occurs.

Subclasses should override this method to handle specific HTTP errors.

Arguments, return values and exceptions raised should be the same as for http_error_default().

BaseHandler.<protocol>_request(req)

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to pre-process requests of the given protocol.

This method, if defined, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. req will be a Request object. The return value should be a Request object.

BaseHandler.<protocol>_response(req, response)

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to post-process responses of the given protocol.

This method, if defined, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. req will be a Request object. response will be an object implementing the same interface as the return value of urlopen(). The return value should implement the same interface as the return value of urlopen().

HTTPRedirectHandler 物件

備註

Some HTTP redirections require action from this module's client code. If this is the case, HTTPError is raised. See RFC 2616 for details of the precise meanings of the various redirection codes.

An HTTPError exception raised as a security consideration if the HTTPRedirectHandler is presented with a redirected URL which is not an HTTP, HTTPS or FTP URL.

HTTPRedirectHandler.redirect_request(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs, newurl)

Return a Request or None in response to a redirect. This is called by the default implementations of the http_error_30*() methods when a redirection is received from the server. If a redirection should take place, return a new Request to allow http_error_30*() to perform the redirect to newurl. Otherwise, raise HTTPError if no other handler should try to handle this URL, or return None if you can't but another handler might.

備註

The default implementation of this method does not strictly follow RFC 2616, which says that 301 and 302 responses to POST requests must not be automatically redirected without confirmation by the user. In reality, browsers do allow automatic redirection of these responses, changing the POST to a GET, and the default implementation reproduces this behavior.

HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_301(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

Redirect to the Location: or URI: URL. This method is called by the parent OpenerDirector when getting an HTTP 'moved permanently' response.

HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_302(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

The same as http_error_301(), but called for the 'found' response.

HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_303(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

The same as http_error_301(), but called for the 'see other' response.

HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_307(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

The same as http_error_301(), but called for the 'temporary redirect' response. It does not allow changing the request method from POST to GET.

HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_308(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

The same as http_error_301(), but called for the 'permanent redirect' response. It does not allow changing the request method from POST to GET.

在 3.11 版被加入.

HTTPCookieProcessor 物件

HTTPCookieProcessor instances have one attribute:

HTTPCookieProcessor.cookiejar

The http.cookiejar.CookieJar in which cookies are stored.

ProxyHandler 物件

ProxyHandler.<protocol>_open(request)

The ProxyHandler will have a method <protocol>_open() for every protocol which has a proxy in the proxies dictionary given in the constructor. The method will modify requests to go through the proxy, by calling request.set_proxy(), and call the next handler in the chain to actually execute the protocol.

HTTPPasswordMgr 物件

These methods are available on HTTPPasswordMgr and HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm objects.

HTTPPasswordMgr.add_password(realm, uri, user, passwd)

uri can be either a single URI, or a sequence of URIs. realm, user and passwd must be strings. This causes (user, passwd) to be used as authentication tokens when authentication for realm and a super-URI of any of the given URIs is given.

HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password(realm, authuri)

Get user/password for given realm and URI, if any. This method will return (None, None) if there is no matching user/password.

For HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm objects, the realm None will be searched if the given realm has no matching user/password.

HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth 物件

This password manager extends HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm to support tracking URIs for which authentication credentials should always be sent.

HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.add_password(realm, uri, user, passwd, is_authenticated=False)

realm, uri, user, passwd are as for HTTPPasswordMgr.add_password(). is_authenticated sets the initial value of the is_authenticated flag for the given URI or list of URIs. If is_authenticated is specified as True, realm is ignored.

HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.find_user_password(realm, authuri)

Same as for HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm objects

HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.update_authenticated(self, uri, is_authenticated=False)

Update the is_authenticated flag for the given uri or list of URIs.

HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.is_authenticated(self, authuri)

Returns the current state of the is_authenticated flag for the given URI.

AbstractBasicAuthHandler 物件

AbstractBasicAuthHandler.http_error_auth_reqed(authreq, host, req, headers)

Handle an authentication request by getting a user/password pair, and re-trying the request. authreq should be the name of the header where the information about the realm is included in the request, host specifies the URL and path to authenticate for, req should be the (failed) Request object, and headers should be the error headers.

host is either an authority (e.g. "python.org") or a URL containing an authority component (e.g. "http://python.org/"). In either case, the authority must not contain a userinfo component (so, "python.org" and "python.org:80" are fine, "joe:password@python.org" is not).

HTTPBasicAuthHandler 物件

HTTPBasicAuthHandler.http_error_401(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

Retry the request with authentication information, if available.

ProxyBasicAuthHandler 物件

ProxyBasicAuthHandler.http_error_407(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

Retry the request with authentication information, if available.

AbstractDigestAuthHandler 物件

AbstractDigestAuthHandler.http_error_auth_reqed(authreq, host, req, headers)

authreq should be the name of the header where the information about the realm is included in the request, host should be the host to authenticate to, req should be the (failed) Request object, and headers should be the error headers.

HTTPDigestAuthHandler 物件

HTTPDigestAuthHandler.http_error_401(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

Retry the request with authentication information, if available.

ProxyDigestAuthHandler 物件

ProxyDigestAuthHandler.http_error_407(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

Retry the request with authentication information, if available.

HTTPHandler 物件

HTTPHandler.http_open(req)

Send an HTTP request, which can be either GET or POST, depending on req.has_data().

HTTPSHandler 物件

HTTPSHandler.https_open(req)

Send an HTTPS request, which can be either GET or POST, depending on req.has_data().

FileHandler 物件

FileHandler.file_open(req)

Open the file locally, if there is no host name, or the host name is 'localhost'.

在 3.2 版的變更: This method is applicable only for local hostnames. When a remote hostname is given, a URLError is raised.

DataHandler 物件

DataHandler.data_open(req)

Read a data URL. This kind of URL contains the content encoded in the URL itself. The data URL syntax is specified in RFC 2397. This implementation ignores white spaces in base64 encoded data URLs so the URL may be wrapped in whatever source file it comes from. But even though some browsers don't mind about a missing padding at the end of a base64 encoded data URL, this implementation will raise a ValueError in that case.

FTPHandler 物件

FTPHandler.ftp_open(req)

Open the FTP file indicated by req. The login is always done with empty username and password.

CacheFTPHandler 物件

CacheFTPHandler objects are FTPHandler objects with the following additional methods:

CacheFTPHandler.setTimeout(t)

Set timeout of connections to t seconds.

CacheFTPHandler.setMaxConns(m)

Set maximum number of cached connections to m.

UnknownHandler 物件

UnknownHandler.unknown_open()

Raise a URLError exception.

HTTPErrorProcessor 物件

HTTPErrorProcessor.http_response(request, response)

Process HTTP error responses.

For 200 error codes, the response object is returned immediately.

For non-200 error codes, this simply passes the job on to the http_error_<type>() handler methods, via OpenerDirector.error(). Eventually, HTTPDefaultErrorHandler will raise an HTTPError if no other handler handles the error.

HTTPErrorProcessor.https_response(request, response)

Process HTTPS error responses.

The behavior is same as http_response().

範例

In addition to the examples below, more examples are given in 如何使用 urllib 套件取得網路資源.

This example gets the python.org main page and displays the first 300 bytes of it.

>>> import urllib.request
>>> with urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org/') as f:
...     print(f.read(300))
...
b'<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">\n\n\n<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">\n\n<head>\n
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />\n
<title>Python Programming '

Note that urlopen returns a bytes object. This is because there is no way for urlopen to automatically determine the encoding of the byte stream it receives from the HTTP server. In general, a program will decode the returned bytes object to string once it determines or guesses the appropriate encoding.

The following W3C document, https://www.w3.org/International/O-charset, lists the various ways in which an (X)HTML or an XML document could have specified its encoding information.

As the python.org website uses utf-8 encoding as specified in its meta tag, we will use the same for decoding the bytes object.

>>> with urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org/') as f:
...     print(f.read(100).decode('utf-8'))
...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtm

It is also possible to achieve the same result without using the context manager approach.

>>> import urllib.request
>>> f = urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
>>> print(f.read(100).decode('utf-8'))
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtm

In the following example, we are sending a data-stream to the stdin of a CGI and reading the data it returns to us. Note that this example will only work when the Python installation supports SSL.

>>> import urllib.request
>>> req = urllib.request.Request(url='https://localhost/cgi-bin/test.cgi',
...                       data=b'This data is passed to stdin of the CGI')
>>> with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as f:
...     print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
...
Got Data: "This data is passed to stdin of the CGI"

The code for the sample CGI used in the above example is:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
data = sys.stdin.read()
print('Content-type: text/plain\n\nGot Data: "%s"' % data)

Here is an example of doing a PUT request using Request:

import urllib.request
DATA = b'some data'
req = urllib.request.Request(url='http://localhost:8080', data=DATA, method='PUT')
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as f:
    pass
print(f.status)
print(f.reason)

Use of Basic HTTP Authentication:

import urllib.request
# Create an OpenerDirector with support for Basic HTTP Authentication...
auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='PDQ Application',
                          uri='https://mahler:8092/site-updates.py',
                          user='klem',
                          passwd='kadidd!ehopper')
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.example.com/login.html')

build_opener() provides many handlers by default, including a ProxyHandler. By default, ProxyHandler uses the environment variables named <scheme>_proxy, where <scheme> is the URL scheme involved. For example, the http_proxy environment variable is read to obtain the HTTP proxy's URL.

This example replaces the default ProxyHandler with one that uses programmatically supplied proxy URLs, and adds proxy authorization support with ProxyBasicAuthHandler.

proxy_handler = urllib.request.ProxyHandler({'http': 'http://www.example.com:3128/'})
proxy_auth_handler = urllib.request.ProxyBasicAuthHandler()
proxy_auth_handler.add_password('realm', 'host', 'username', 'password')

opener = urllib.request.build_opener(proxy_handler, proxy_auth_handler)
# 這次我們直接使用它而不安裝 OpenerDirector:
opener.open('http://www.example.com/login.html')

Adding HTTP headers:

Use the headers argument to the Request constructor, or:

import urllib.request
req = urllib.request.Request('http://www.example.com/')
req.add_header('Referer', 'http://www.python.org/')
# Customize the default User-Agent header value:
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'urllib-example/0.1 (Contact: . . .)')
r = urllib.request.urlopen(req)

OpenerDirector automatically adds a User-Agent header to every Request. To change this:

import urllib.request
opener = urllib.request.build_opener()
opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')]
opener.open('http://www.example.com/')

Also, remember that a few standard headers (Content-Length, Content-Type and Host) are added when the Request is passed to urlopen() (or OpenerDirector.open()).

Here is an example session that uses the GET method to retrieve a URL containing parameters:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> import urllib.parse
>>> params = urllib.parse.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
>>> url = "http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query?%s" % params
>>> with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as f:
...     print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
...

The following example uses the POST method instead. Note that params output from urlencode is encoded to bytes before it is sent to urlopen as data:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> import urllib.parse
>>> data = urllib.parse.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
>>> data = data.encode('ascii')
>>> with urllib.request.urlopen("http://requestb.in/xrbl82xr", data) as f:
...     print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
...

The following example uses an explicitly specified HTTP proxy, overriding environment settings:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> proxies = {'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080/'}
>>> opener = urllib.request.FancyURLopener(proxies)
>>> with opener.open("http://www.python.org") as f:
...     f.read().decode('utf-8')
...

The following example uses no proxies at all, overriding environment settings:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> opener = urllib.request.FancyURLopener({})
>>> with opener.open("http://www.python.org/") as f:
...     f.read().decode('utf-8')
...

Legacy interface

The following functions and classes are ported from the Python 2 module urllib (as opposed to urllib2). They might become deprecated at some point in the future.

urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename=None, reporthook=None, data=None)

Copy a network object denoted by a URL to a local file. If the URL points to a local file, the object will not be copied unless filename is supplied. Return a tuple (filename, headers) where filename is the local file name under which the object can be found, and headers is whatever the info() method of the object returned by urlopen() returned (for a remote object). Exceptions are the same as for urlopen().

The second argument, if present, specifies the file location to copy to (if absent, the location will be a tempfile with a generated name). The third argument, if present, is a callable that will be called once on establishment of the network connection and once after each block read thereafter. The callable will be passed three arguments; a count of blocks transferred so far, a block size in bytes, and the total size of the file. The third argument may be -1 on older FTP servers which do not return a file size in response to a retrieval request.

The following example illustrates the most common usage scenario:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> local_filename, headers = urllib.request.urlretrieve('http://python.org/')
>>> html = open(local_filename)
>>> html.close()

If the url uses the http: scheme identifier, the optional data argument may be given to specify a POST request (normally the request type is GET). The data argument must be a bytes object in standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded format; see the urllib.parse.urlencode() function.

urlretrieve() will raise ContentTooShortError when it detects that the amount of data available was less than the expected amount (which is the size reported by a Content-Length header). This can occur, for example, when the download is interrupted.

The Content-Length is treated as a lower bound: if there's more data to read, urlretrieve reads more data, but if less data is available, it raises the exception.

You can still retrieve the downloaded data in this case, it is stored in the content attribute of the exception instance.

If no Content-Length header was supplied, urlretrieve can not check the size of the data it has downloaded, and just returns it. In this case you just have to assume that the download was successful.

urllib.request.urlcleanup()

Cleans up temporary files that may have been left behind by previous calls to urlretrieve().

class urllib.request.URLopener(proxies=None, **x509)

在 3.3 版之後被棄用.

Base class for opening and reading URLs. Unless you need to support opening objects using schemes other than http:, ftp:, or file:, you probably want to use FancyURLopener.

By default, the URLopener class sends a User-Agent header of urllib/VVV, where VVV is the urllib version number. Applications can define their own User-Agent header by subclassing URLopener or FancyURLopener and setting the class attribute version to an appropriate string value in the subclass definition.

The optional proxies parameter should be a dictionary mapping scheme names to proxy URLs, where an empty dictionary turns proxies off completely. Its default value is None, in which case environmental proxy settings will be used if present, as discussed in the definition of urlopen(), above.

Additional keyword parameters, collected in x509, may be used for authentication of the client when using the https: scheme. The keywords key_file and cert_file are supported to provide an SSL key and certificate; both are needed to support client authentication.

URLopener objects will raise an OSError exception if the server returns an error code.

open(fullurl, data=None)

Open fullurl using the appropriate protocol. This method sets up cache and proxy information, then calls the appropriate open method with its input arguments. If the scheme is not recognized, open_unknown() is called. The data argument has the same meaning as the data argument of urlopen().

This method always quotes fullurl using quote().

open_unknown(fullurl, data=None)

Overridable interface to open unknown URL types.

retrieve(url, filename=None, reporthook=None, data=None)

Retrieves the contents of url and places it in filename. The return value is a tuple consisting of a local filename and either an email.message.Message object containing the response headers (for remote URLs) or None (for local URLs). The caller must then open and read the contents of filename. If filename is not given and the URL refers to a local file, the input filename is returned. If the URL is non-local and filename is not given, the filename is the output of tempfile.mktemp() with a suffix that matches the suffix of the last path component of the input URL. If reporthook is given, it must be a function accepting three numeric parameters: A chunk number, the maximum size chunks are read in and the total size of the download (-1 if unknown). It will be called once at the start and after each chunk of data is read from the network. reporthook is ignored for local URLs.

If the url uses the http: scheme identifier, the optional data argument may be given to specify a POST request (normally the request type is GET). The data argument must in standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded format; see the urllib.parse.urlencode() function.

version

Variable that specifies the user agent of the opener object. To get urllib to tell servers that it is a particular user agent, set this in a subclass as a class variable or in the constructor before calling the base constructor.

class urllib.request.FancyURLopener(...)

在 3.3 版之後被棄用.

FancyURLopener subclasses URLopener providing default handling for the following HTTP response codes: 301, 302, 303, 307 and 401. For the 30x response codes listed above, the Location header is used to fetch the actual URL. For 401 response codes (authentication required), basic HTTP authentication is performed. For the 30x response codes, recursion is bounded by the value of the maxtries attribute, which defaults to 10.

For all other response codes, the method http_error_default() is called which you can override in subclasses to handle the error appropriately.

備註

According to the letter of RFC 2616, 301 and 302 responses to POST requests must not be automatically redirected without confirmation by the user. In reality, browsers do allow automatic redirection of these responses, changing the POST to a GET, and urllib reproduces this behaviour.

The parameters to the constructor are the same as those for URLopener.

備註

When performing basic authentication, a FancyURLopener instance calls its prompt_user_passwd() method. The default implementation asks the users for the required information on the controlling terminal. A subclass may override this method to support more appropriate behavior if needed.

The FancyURLopener class offers one additional method that should be overloaded to provide the appropriate behavior:

prompt_user_passwd(host, realm)

Return information needed to authenticate the user at the given host in the specified security realm. The return value should be a tuple, (user, password), which can be used for basic authentication.

The implementation prompts for this information on the terminal; an application should override this method to use an appropriate interaction model in the local environment.

urllib.request Restrictions

  • Currently, only the following protocols are supported: HTTP (versions 0.9 and 1.0), FTP, local files, and data URLs.

    在 3.4 版的變更: Added support for data URLs.

  • The caching feature of urlretrieve() has been disabled until someone finds the time to hack proper processing of Expiration time headers.

  • There should be a function to query whether a particular URL is in the cache.

  • For backward compatibility, if a URL appears to point to a local file but the file can't be opened, the URL is re-interpreted using the FTP protocol. This can sometimes cause confusing error messages.

  • The urlopen() and urlretrieve() functions can cause arbitrarily long delays while waiting for a network connection to be set up. This means that it is difficult to build an interactive web client using these functions without using threads.

  • The data returned by urlopen() or urlretrieve() is the raw data returned by the server. This may be binary data (such as an image), plain text or (for example) HTML. The HTTP protocol provides type information in the reply header, which can be inspected by looking at the Content-Type header. If the returned data is HTML, you can use the module html.parser to parse it.

  • The code handling the FTP protocol cannot differentiate between a file and a directory. This can lead to unexpected behavior when attempting to read a URL that points to a file that is not accessible. If the URL ends in a /, it is assumed to refer to a directory and will be handled accordingly. But if an attempt to read a file leads to a 550 error (meaning the URL cannot be found or is not accessible, often for permission reasons), then the path is treated as a directory in order to handle the case when a directory is specified by a URL but the trailing / has been left off. This can cause misleading results when you try to fetch a file whose read permissions make it inaccessible; the FTP code will try to read it, fail with a 550 error, and then perform a directory listing for the unreadable file. If fine-grained control is needed, consider using the ftplib module, subclassing FancyURLopener, or changing _urlopener to meet your needs.

urllib.response --- Response classes used by urllib

The urllib.response module defines functions and classes which define a minimal file-like interface, including read() and readline(). Functions defined by this module are used internally by the urllib.request module. The typical response object is a urllib.response.addinfourl instance:

class urllib.response.addinfourl
url

URL of the resource retrieved, commonly used to determine if a redirect was followed.

headers

Returns the headers of the response in the form of an EmailMessage instance.

status

在 3.9 版被加入.

Status code returned by server.

geturl()

在 3.9 版之後被棄用: Deprecated in favor of url.

info()

在 3.9 版之後被棄用: Deprecated in favor of headers.

code

在 3.9 版之後被棄用: Deprecated in favor of status.

getcode()

在 3.9 版之後被棄用: Deprecated in favor of status.
