How to get HTTP error when using urlretrieve()

[silverburgh.meryl]

Hi,

I use urlretrieve to retrieve resources from a http server.
Can you please tell me how can I get the HTTP error (whenever
happens)?

And what kind of different exception urlretrieve will throw? e.g.
unknown host? connection timeout? HTTP error?

Thank you.

I think <http://www.python.org/doc//lib/module-urllib.html> gives good
information about these issues.
