how to check the 'content/type' using urlopen

[John]

i have the following code to open a URL address, but can you please
tell me how can I check the content type of the url response?

Thank you.

try:
req = Request(url, txdata, txheaders)
handle = urlopen(req)
except IOError, e:
print e
print 'Failed to open %s' % url
return 0;

else:
data = handle.read()

Not absolutely sure about this, but try handle.headers. get('Content-
Type') before the read.

handle.get_head er("Content-type")
