I've been writing a simple web spider for fun, and I've run into a problem I can't figure out. The spider hangs (waits for username and pass) when I hit a page that requires .htaccess authentication.
self.f = urllib.urlopen('http://blogbloc.com/~jay/test/') #nothing below here gets executed print self.f.info() ... It hangs as soon as I call urllib.urlopen(). I was going to try to read the info and break for pages that require authentication, but it hangs before I can call self.f.info() Any ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
