that's the problem. i don't know about the username. i login on the 
webpage at 192.168.0.1
but there is no user name involved. just the password which i am using.
i do get a response, but not the status info:
<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; 
charset=iso-8859-1"><SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript><!--
function GURL(x){var t=new Date(); location=x+'&ZT='+t.getTime();}

the python code gets the info.

no username, but i do need a password which i am using.
and the python code seems to be sending a user name and password - 
although what the password is i can't grok.
