I'm using urllib2 to fetch a a page via HTTP. Sometimes the resource throws a HTTP error 400 (Bad Request) when my request contains an error. However, that response also contains an XML element that gives a detailed error message. It would be very handy to be able to see that error rather than just the HTTPError exception returned by urllib2.
How do I return the document contents in spite of the exception?
import urllib2 try: request = urllib2.Request('http://www.somesite.com') response = urllib2.urlopen(req) except urllib2.HTTPError as e: error_message = e.read() print error_message
