Here is an example session that uses the ``GET`` method::
>>> import http.client
- >>> conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("www.python.org")
- >>> conn.request("GET", "/index.html")
+ >>> conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("www.python.org")
+ >>> conn.request("GET", "/")
>>> r1 = conn.getresponse()
>>> print(r1.status, r1.reason)
200 OK
>>> data1 = r1.read() # This will return entire content.
>>> # The following example demonstrates reading data in chunks.
- >>> conn.request("GET", "/index.html")
+ >>> conn.request("GET", "/")
>>> r1 = conn.getresponse()
>>> while not r1.closed:
... print(r1.read(200)) # 200 bytes
- b'<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
+ b'<!doctype html>\n<!--[if"...
...
>>> # Example of an invalid request
>>> conn.request("GET", "/parrot.spam")
``HEAD`` method never returns any data. ::
>>> import http.client
- >>> conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("www.python.org")
- >>> conn.request("HEAD","/index.html")
+ >>> conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("www.python.org")
+ >>> conn.request("HEAD", "/")
>>> res = conn.getresponse()
>>> print(res.status, res.reason)
200 OK
