Re: urlretrieve can't send headers

[triplezone3]

I have looked in to urllib2, and I can't find a
function which would allow me to get the progress of
the download as it happens, bit by bit, like
urlretrieve does, at least not easily.
urllib.urlretrieve's returnhook is just handy.
I have another question concerning urlretrieve, is
there a way I can force it to stop downloading
half-way, say after the user clicked cancel? Thanks in
advance.

Unfortunately, it won't let me send headers, which
could be quite useful. Is there any way I could do
this?

I suggest you look into urllib2. It allows you to
explicitly create an
request-object that you can stuff with headers and
parameters and what
you like.
