HTTPConnection.getresponse
- HTTPConnection.getresponse()
Get the response from the server. If the HTTPConnection is in the correct state, returns an instance of HTTPResponse. If a request has not been sent or if a previous response has not be handled, ResponseNotReady is raised. If the HTTP response indicates that the connection should be closed, then it will be closed before the response is returned. When the connection is closed, the underlying socket is closed.

Changed in 3.5
- 3.5: If a ConnectionError or subclass is raised, the HTTPConnection object will be ready to reconnect when a new request is sent. Note that this does not apply to OSErrors raised by the underlying socket. Instead the caller is responsible to call close() on the existing connection.
1 Example
>>> # This creates an HTTP request >>> # with the content of BODY as the enclosed representation >>> # for the resource http://localhost:8080/file ... >>> import http.client >>> BODY = "***filecontents***" >>> conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("localhost", 8080) >>> conn.request("PUT", "/file", BODY) >>> response = conn.getresponse() >>> print(response.status, response.reason) 200, OK
