[Tutor] httplib & keep-alive

[Michael Barrett]

    Hi, can someone please post how to successfully re-use a HTTP/1.1 connection viah httplib?  The code below doesn't seem to work- the exception is below the code.

##############
#!/usr/local/bin/python

import httplib, sys

httpcon = httplib.HTTPConnection('<website>')
httpcon.debuglevel = 1
httpcon.putrequest('GET', 'http://<website>/ocd/')
httpcon.putheader('Connection','Keep-Alive')
httpcon.endheaders()

reply = httpcon.getresponse()

redirLoc = reply.getheader('Location')

if redirLoc:
    print "Found Location header, redirecting to " + redirLoc
    httpcon.putrequest('GET', redirLoc)
    httpcon.putheader('Connection', 'close')
    httpcon.endheaders()

    newreply = httpcon.getresponse()
##############
