If I understand you correctly, you want to connect to a service that uses HTTP Basic Auth in connection.py and do something with the data. You might look into python's urllib2 library. I found this snippet: import urllib2, base64 request = urllib2.Request("http://api.foursquare.com/v1/user") base64string = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password)).replace('\n', '') request.add_header("Authorization", "Basic %s" % base64string) result = urllib2.urlopen(request) Here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/635113/python-urllib2-basic-http-authentication-and-tr-im -A -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
