Hello ! In a code of mine if have the lines : try: req = urllib2.Request(url) u = urllib2.urlopen(req) data=u.read() except urllib2.URLError,err: // error handling here The urllib2.URLError normally catchs the socket.timeout but someone send me a bug report of a tiemout error : File "/usr/lib/python2.4/socket.py", line 285, in read data = self._sock.recv(recv_size) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 460, in read return self._read_chunked(amt) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 495, in _read_chunked line = self.fp.readline() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/socket.py", line 325, in readline data = recv(1) socket.timeout: timed out Is it a bug with httplib and 'Content-Encoding: chunked' header ?

urlopen() raises URLError, .read() may raise other errors. I don't think that's a bug in itself, though no doubt: 1. The documentation of exceptions raised could and should be improved 2. The exceptions that can be raised are likely still inconsistent (though this has improved in Python 2.6, I think) Recommend closing this bug. Please open other bugs about the issues above if you have patches.

Should this one be closed and docs discussed in a new one? Volunteers? :)

I agree.
