    urllib2 uses httplib under the hood to make the connection. You can change it to http 1.0 as shown below. I’ve included my apache servers access log to show how the http connection have change to 1.0

    code

    import urllib2, httplib
httplib.HTTPConnection._http_vsn = 10
httplib.HTTPConnection._http_vsn_str = 'HTTP/1.0'
print urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost/').read()

    access.log

    127.0.0.1 - - [01/Dec/2012:09:10:27 +0300] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 454 "-" "Python-urllib/2.7"
