The fetch() function returns an object containing the details of the response returned by the URL's server. This object has several attributes:

content

The body content of the response.

content_was_truncated

True if the allow_truncated parameter to fetch() was True and the response exceeded the maximum response size. In this case, the content attribute contains the truncated response.

status_code

The HTTP status code.

headers

The HTTP response headers, as a mapping of names to values. If there are multiple headers with the same name, their values will be joined into a single comma-separated string. If the values already contained commas (for example, Set-Cookie headers), you may want to use header_msg.getheaders( header_name ) to retrieve a list of values instead.

header_msg

An instance of httplib.HTTPMessage containing the response headers. If there may be multiple headers with the same name (for example, Set-Cookie headers), call header_msg.getheaders( header_name ) to retrieve the values as a list.

final_url

The actual URL whose request returned this response. Only present if the fetch followed HTTP redirects. Not present if the retrieved URL matches the requested URL.
