I ran them seperately, hoping for a clue as to what my "cookiejar" was. The cookie-acquisition stuff returns "screener.ashx?v=151" when I search with my domain I am interested in. I have tried urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor('screener.ashx?v=151') but that failed with attr has no cookie header. >From the HTTPCookieProcessor doco, it appears that non-IE browsers have a cookie file (and example code) but from what I can tell IE uses a hidden folder. (you can set your location in IE but it appends a folder "\Temporary Internet Files" - From: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/cookielib.html *** This example illustrates how to open a URL using your Netscape, Mozilla, or Lynx cookies (assumes Unix/Netscape convention for location of the cookies file): import os, cookielib, urllib2 cj = cookielib.MozillaCookieJar() cj.load(os.path.join(os.environ["HOME"], ".netscape/cookies.txt")) opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)) r = opener.open("http://example.com/";) *** Not sure how to adapt this for IE. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
