[issue8823] urllib2 does not catch httplib.BadStatusLine

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Issue 13736 also proposes to wrap HTTP client exceptions, although I personally don’t really endorse this.

The other option is to fix the documentation: Issue 25633, Issue 22797.

----------
resolution: accepted -> duplicate
status: open -> closed
superseder:  -> urllib.request.urlopen leaks exceptions from socket and httplib.client
