HTTP GET script based on httplib

Question

I need a tool, which can download some part of data from web server, and after that i want connection not be closed. Therfore, i thought about a script in python, which can do: 1) send request 2) read some part of response 3) will freeze - server should think that connection exist, and should not close it

is it possilbe to do it in python ? here is my code:

conn = HTTPConnection("myhost", 10000)
conn.request("GET", "/?file=myfile")
r1 = conn.getresponse()
print r1.status, r1.reason
data = r1.read(2000000)
print len(data)

When im running it, all data is received, and after that server closes connection.

thx in advance for any help

httplib doesn't support that. Use another library, like httplib2. Here's example.
