How can I get the content of a web site using http library

S

I am trying to get the content of a web site like this:
But my question is how can I do a 'GET' request without putting the '/
index.html''


h = httplib.HTTP('www.yahoo.com')

# it takes 2 arguments here, but I don't know if the site has
'/index.html' , how can I leave this out?

h.putrequest('GET')
h.endheaders()

errcode, errmsg, headers = h.getreply()

if (errcode == 200):

f = h.getfile()

Thank you for your help.

You may want to go with the urllib module instead. Check out the how-
to below:
