Hi, I am porting a simple code from Perl, the website asks for usr/pwd and the server's side Perl script makes a temp ftp dir for a file upload.
The original Perl script connects okay, does its job. The same URL stuffed into FF3 performs the same way. My Python script I am sweating over for past four days (noob!) gets consistently "503", even with user agent set to: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;U; Windows NT 5.1; it; rv:1.8.1.11)Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11. Snippets of relevant code below, heavily copied from this author: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/urllib2.shtml Please, help me understand how this same code lets me log in into my router usr/pwd running .asp, but this !...@#$% perl script returns to me w/503 c*ap? Thank you. Do I need to set any proxy? The server is on intranet and the FF3 is set to proxy. The original Perl script did not use any proxy setting!
