I'd like to point out what look like 2 errors in the code:

1. You have "contenType" instead of "contentType" in "contenType = r[y
+1:].strip()".

2. The string method "strip(...)" treats its string argument as a
_set_ of characters to strip, so "cE.strip('charset = ')" will strip
any leading and trailing "c", "h", "a", etc., which isn't what I think
you intended.
