I am interested in making an HTTP Banner Grabber, but when i connect to a server on port 80 and i send something (e.g. “HEAD / HTTP/1.1”) recv doesn’t return anything to me like when i do it in let’s say netcat..

How would i go about this?

Thanks!

    Try using the urllib2 module.

    >>> data = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.example.com').read()
>>> print data
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
  <TITLE>Example Web Page</TITLE>
</HEAD> 
<body>  
<p>You have reached this web page by typing &quot;example.com&quot;,
&quot;example.net&quot;,
  or &quot;example.org&quot; into your web browser.</p>

</BODY>
</HTML>

    Asking for examples, you may miss finer points. To see the content-type header:

    >>> stream = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.example.com')
>>> stream.headers['content-type']
'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
>>> data = stream.read()
>>> print data[:100]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <META http-equiv=
