Yes, I would also be in favor to including this in python, but I was told here I should write it
as recipe in the documentation.

It is e.g. useful for crawlers/spiders, that analyze webpages including their images.

It would be good in the stdlib. By all means submit a patch for adding it. Paul

Ok, I added a patch that adds this to the stdlib to this issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue16423

I changed my code so it is more aligned with the existing code in urllib.request.
