Hi all, I need urllib2 do perform series of HTTP requests with cookie from PREVIOUS request(like our browsers usually do ). Many people suggest I use some library(e.g. pycURL) instead but I guess it's good practise for a python beginner to DIY something rather than use existing tools.
So my problem is how to expand the urllib2 class from cookielib import CookieJar class SmartRequest(): cj=CookieJar() def __init__(self, strUrl, strContent=None): self.Request = urllib2.Request(strUrl, strContent) self.cj.add_cookie_header(self.Request) self.Response = urllib2.urlopen(Request) self.cj.extract_cookies(self.Response, self.Request) def url def read(self, intCount): return self.Response.read(intCount) def headers(self, strHeaderName): return self.Response.headers[strHeaderName] The code does not work because each time SmartRequest is initiated, object 'cj' is cleared. How to avoid that? The only stupid solution I figured out is use a global CookieJar object. Is there anyway that could handle all this INSIDE the class? I am totally new to OOP & python programming, so could anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
