- Description: A high-level cross-protocol url-grabber.
-
- Using urlgrabber, data can be fetched in three basic ways:
-
- urlgrab(url) copy the file to the local filesystem
- urlopen(url) open the remote file and return a file object
- (like urllib2.urlopen)
- urlread(url) return the contents of the file as a string
-
- When using these functions (or methods), urlgrabber supports the
- following features:
-
- * identical behavior for http://, ftp://, and file:// urls
- * http keepalive - faster downloads of many files by using
- only a single connection
- * byte ranges - fetch only a portion of the file
- * reget - for a urlgrab, resume a partial download
- * progress meters - the ability to report download progress
- automatically, even when using urlopen!
- * throttling - restrict bandwidth usage
- * retries - automatically retry a download if it fails. The
- number of retries and failure types are configurable.
- * authenticated server access for http and ftp
- * proxy support - support for authenticated http and ftp proxies
- * mirror groups - treat a list of mirrors as a single source,
- automatically switching mirrors if there is a failure.
