You might try a URL for the form http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/resource as this is the easiest way to achieve basic authentication. Otherwise there are other ways, which you can get back to us about. Also you might try just starting a new browser session an entering the URL that gave you problems in your code. If the browser displays the page correctly then *either* it has cookies set that you aren't setting when you call urllib.urlopen() *or* I'm wrong. :-) regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
