Hello,
I'm trying to write a code to automate logging into a website.I have chosen the
forum 'www.tek-tips.com' as an example and tried this script on it....But it
doesnt seem to work...What am i missing here..plz help
import urllib2
theurl = 'www.tek-tips.com'
protocol = 'http://'
username = 'johnny'
password = 'yesyes'
passman = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
# this creates a password manager
passman.add_password(None, theurl, username, password)
# because we have put None at the start it will always
# use this username/password combination for urls
# for which `theurl` is a super-url
authhandler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(passman)
# create the AuthHandler
opener = urllib2.build_opener(authhandler)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
# All calls to urllib2.urlopen will now use our handler
# Make sure not to include the protocol in with the URL, or
# HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm will be very confused.
# You must (of course) use it when fetching the page though.
pagehandle = urllib2.urlopen(protocol + theurl)
# authentication is now handled automatically for us
the_page=pagehandle.read()
print the_page
