HTTP GET script based on httplib
<p>I need a tool, which can download some part of data from web server, and after that i want connection not be closed. Therfore, i thought about a script in python, which can do:
1) send request
2) read some part of response
3) will freeze - server should think that connection exist, and should not close it</p>

<p>is it possilbe to do it in python ? here is my code:</p>

<pre><code>conn = HTTPConnection("myhost", 10000)
conn.request("GET", "/?file=myfile")
r1 = conn.getresponse()
print r1.status, r1.reason
data = r1.read(2000000)
print len(data)
</code></pre>

<p>When im running it, all data is received, and after that server closes connection. </p>

<p>thx in advance for any help</p>
