Hi, Well the trouble is that my orkut scrapbook is flooded. So I reckoned that I'd write some sort of a script to delete the 14800 or so scraps. Now the big problem is that I don't really have too much knowledge about web programming. I have a rough idea about HTTP, HTTPS, cookies etc. but I don't really know the specifics.
Question 1: Orkut seems to use a cookie to keep track of who I am. How long will this cookie be valid? Supposing I login using Mozilla and then get hold of this cookie, then use my Python script and send the same cookie whilst send a "POST" request to delete the entry, will orkut be fooled? Question 2: How do I send a specific cookie along with my request? The whole documentation for urllib2 is rather general and seems to assume thorough knowledge of how those protocols work. Question 3: Is there a simpler way? Question 4: Pointers to further information? Thanks, Pramod -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
