PyCharm is an IDE, and python doesn't have a "verbose" mode. It's as
verbose as you specify your calls.

I'm assuming you're using requests since it's kind of the gold standard
for HTTP/HTTPS stuff.


Assuming your request is called via e.g.

req = requests.get('https://some.domain.tld/some/url', data = {'foo':
'bar'})

then you can access the HTTP status return code via:

req.status_code

You can access the content of the error page via req.content, headers
via req.headers, etc.

There's a shorthand for request responses, though. req.ok is a boolean
that's True if the call returns a 200, 301, or 302 (and maybe a couple
others - all "success" statuses in various forms) and False indicates
anything else.
