Python: Send a request to a web page, and print the response text, content, raw data
Write a Python program to send a request to a web page, and print the response text and content. Also get the raw socket response from the server.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import requests
res = requests.get('https://www.google.com/')
print("Response text of https://google.com/:")
print(res.text)
print("\n==============================================================================")
print("\nContent of the said url:")
print(res.content)
print("\n==============================================================================")
print("\nRaw data of the said url:")
r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/events', stream = True)
print(r.raw)
print(r.raw.read(15))
Sample Output:
Response text of http://example.com/:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example Domain</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<style type="text/css">
