How to get http status code from selenium Python code.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, selenium doesn't give this info designedly.

There is a very lengthy discussion about this, but the short of it is that:

Selenium is a browser emulation tool, certainly not a testing tool.

Selenium performs several GETs and POSTs throughout the method of rendering a page and adding an interface for that might complicate the API in ways in which the authors resist.
