Question

Still working my way round python whenever work permits it…

I’m querying a load of internal webUI’s using a script that uses urllib2.urlopen. I’m wondering how it is possible to get the size of the page content from each request. I can’t seem to figure this one out.

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

print len(urlopen(url).read())

or

>>> result = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.spiegel.de')
>>> result.headers['content-length']
'181291'
