I am providing the complete code .... import urllib2 import urllib import ClientCookie import ClientForm import sys cj = ClientCookie.LWPCookieJar() opener = ClientCookie.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPSHandler(), ClientCookie.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)) ClientCookie.install_opener(opener) # input-type values from the html form txtdata = {'userid':'asdcsearch.gen','password':'Asdc1234'} data = urllib.urlencode(txtdata)
req3 = ClientCookie.Request(" https://cdx-stage.cisco.com/ecm/view/objectId/090dca388003e67c" ,data) handle3 = ClientCookie.urlopen(req3) content=handle3.read() print content https://cdx-stage.cisco.com/ecm/view/objectId/090dca388003e67c is a download url ....So when i try downloading the url after providing the authentication i will able to downlaod the content as ita simple text file. But if it is a pdf or any other file it not able to downlaod the file. Like take for example :- https://cdx-stage.cisco.com/ecm/view/objectId/090dca388003e726 --> this a doc file. And i am unable to get the content. But for the download url : https://cdx-stage.cisco.com/ecm/view/objectId/090dca388003e67c --> this is a simple text file. I am able to get the content.
