Python - Request Status Codes
Neha Kumawat
2 years ago
After receiving and interpreting a request message, a server responds with an HTTP response message. The response message has a Status-Code. It is
a 3-digit integer where first digit of the Status-Code defines the class of response and the last two digits do not have any categorization role.
There are 5 values for the first digit:
Status Codes
It means the request was received and the process is continuing.
It means the action was successfully received, understood, and accepted.
It means further action must be taken in order to complete the request.
It means the request contains incorrect syntax or cannot be fulfilled.
It means the server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request.
Successful Response
In the below example we access a file from a url and the response is successful. So the status code returned is 200.
import urllib3
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
resp = http.request('GET', 'http://tutorialspoint.com/robots.txt')
print resp.data
# get the status of the response
print resp.status
When we run the above program, we get the following output −
User-agent: *
Disallow: /tmp
Disallow: /logs
Disallow: /rate/*
Disallow: /cgi-bin/*
Disallow: /videotutorials/video_course_view.php?*
Disallow: /videotutorials/course_view.php?*
Disallow: /videos/*
Disallow: /*/*_question_bank/*
Disallow: //*/*/*/*/src/*
200
Unsuccessful Response
In the below example we access a file from a url which does not exist. The response is unsuccessful. So the status code returned is 403.
import urllib3
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
resp = http.request('GET', 'http://tutorialspoint.com/robot.txt')
print resp.data
# get the status of the response
print resp.status
When we run the above program, we get the following output −
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don't have permission to access /robot.txt
on this server.</p>
</body></html>
403
