Track upload/download progress about urllib3 HOT 4 CLOSED

For downloads this would be something like:

with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
    r = manager.urlopen('GET', url, preload_content=False)
    filesize = r.getheaders()['content-length']
    blocksize = int(math.ceil(filesize/100.))
    for progress in xrange(100):
        print "%d%%" % progress
        f.write(r.read(blocksize))

from urllib3.

See my answer here: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/396#issuecomment-3709921

from urllib3.

This is simple to do.

Look at the content-length of the response and download 1/100th of that at a time.

+1 to what @johtso and @kennethreitz said.

@gcastagneti This "recipe" is obviously not very well documented for neither Requests or urllib3. Perhaps you'd like to write a blog post tutorial or doc for how to do this so we can refer others to it?
