urllib.error.HTTPError

exception urllib.error.HTTPError

Though being an exception (a subclass of URLError), an HTTPError can also function as a non-exceptional file-like return value (the same thing that urlopen() returns). This is useful when handling exotic HTTP errors, such as requests for authentication.

code

reason

This is usually a string explaining the reason for this error.

headers

The HTTP response headers for the HTTP request that caused the HTTPError.
