I would like to connect to a site via HTTPS in Python 3.2.
I tried
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection(urlStr, 8443)
conn.putrequest('GET', '/')
response = conn.getresponse()
print(response.read())
but I get
http.client.ResponseNotReady: Request-started
Anyone know what the problem is?
First of all, if you just want to download something and don't want any special HTTP requests, you should use urllib.request instead of http.client.
import urllib.request
r = urllib.request.urlopen('https://paypal.com/')
print(r.read())
If you really want to use http.client, you must call endheaders after you send the request headers:
import http.client
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection('paypal.com', 443)
conn.putrequest('GET', '/')
conn.endheaders() # <---
r = conn.getresponse()
print(r.read())
As a shortcut to putrequest/endheaders, you can also use the request method, like this:
import http.client
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection('paypal.com', 443)
conn.request('GET', '/') # <---
r = conn.getresponse()
print(r.read())
instead of putrequest, you can use request
conn.request('GET', '/')
resp = conn.getresponse()
print(resp.read())
