-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey everybody,
I'm having a little problem with urllib2 and Basic HTTP authentication. I have the following code: auth = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() auth.add_password(None, 'https://webmail.osg-erasmus.nl/oneNet/NetStorage/', user, password) authhandler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(auth) opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth) opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 Something/1.0')] try: return self.opener.open('https://webmail.osg-erasmus.nl/oneNet/NetStorage/') except urllib2.HTTPError, e: print e.code print e.headers This however does not allow me to authenticate. I keep getting back a 401: 401 Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 18:11:32 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.54 (NETWARE) mod_perl/1.99_12 Perl/v5.8.4 PHP/5.0.5 mod_nsn/1.0_0 mod_jk/1.2.14 Set-Cookie: novellsession1=8KuAO0iLyAEAAAAAAAAAAA==; path=/ WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="ERASMUS-TREE" Vary: accept-language,accept-charset Accept-Ranges: bytes Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Language: en Using this nice class (adapted to urllib2) as a basehandler I see that no Authentication-header is being send out: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/440574 What am I doing wrong here? I spend almost my entire free time today on this and couldn't find any problem with my code, anyone else has a thought? Thanks in advance.
