Are you certain that the realm on the server matches 'Zope'? HTTPBasicAuthHandler uses the realm to look for the password, if the realm the server provides is different, urllib2 will respond as if it does not have a user/password. If you are only doing one request, it isn't that big a deal; if you are doing many requests or want urllib2 to handle the response for other reseans, you can use a default realm, see the bottom of this example: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/305288 (The advantage of using a default rather than making sure the realm is correct is that it can change and you won't have to do anything) max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
