1.1.3 Response Objects
</H2>
<P>
Response objects are derived from <tt class="class">dict</tt> and map
header names (lower case with the trailing colon removed)
to header values. In addition to the dict methods
a Response object also has:
<P>
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-18' xml:id='l2h-18' class="member">fromcache</tt></b></dt>
<dd>
If <code>true</code> the the response was returned from the cache.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-19' xml:id='l2h-19' class="member">version</tt></b></dt>
<dd>
The version of HTTP that the server supports. A value
of 11 means '1.1'.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-20' xml:id='l2h-20' class="member">status</tt></b></dt>
<dd>
The numerical HTTP status code returned in the response.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-21' xml:id='l2h-21' class="member">reason</tt></b></dt>
<dd>
The human readable component of the HTTP response status code.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-22' xml:id='l2h-22' class="member">previous</tt></b></dt>
<dd>
If redirects are followed then the <tt class="class">Response</tt> object returned
is just for the very last HTTP request and <var>previous</var> points to
the previous <tt class="class">Response</tt> object. In this manner they form a chain
going back through the responses to the very first response.
Will be <code>None</code> if there are no previous respones.
</dl>
