My guess? After you successfully login the webpage is setting a cookie on your browser with a token to mark you as authenticated and let you in. Lots of websites do that: I don't think urllib2 is handling that by itself so you may need to. You also may have to set a User-agent header to convince it you're legitimate. I googled briefly and came up with http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/cookielib.shtml which may be totally useless or of great value. I am not providing it as a solution, it just at a brief glance looks potentially relevant :) --S -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
