You haven't said what you're really trying to do. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal > This is my unworking code: > import time > import Cookie > import cookielib, urllib2 > > c= cookielib.Cookie(1,"Name","Tom", 80,False, "itay", False, False, > "d:\\asddd",False, False,time.time()+1000,False,None,None,None) Constructing your own Cookie instances is rarely necessary or sensible. If you do, I recommend getting the constructor arguments by inspecting the Cookie object the server actually returns, rather than using the values you *think* you know are correct. > cj = cookielib.CookieJar() > cj.set_cookie(c) > opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)) > opener.open(r'http://itay/temp.html";) > > why this isn't working? Please define "working". If you want to handle cookies when opening URLs, just do this: opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor()) opener.open("http://itay/temp.html";) # more .open() calls go here... Of course, on the first HTTP request, cookie handling cannot have any effect at all unless you've somehow loaded some old cookies first. Your .open() may only involve a single HTTP request (though server-side software may detect the absence of a cookie on the first request, and do a page refresh or redirect so it can see its cookie returned to it again; vanilla urllib2 handles redirects but not refreshes; package ClientCookie handles the latter, amongst other things). Regardless, turning on cookielib and httplib debug output will likely be helpful if you're stuck (if only to post the output to this newsgroup): import logging, urllib2, sys hh = urllib2.HTTPHandler() hsh = urllib2.HTTPSHandler() hh.set_http_debuglevel(1) hsh.set_http_debuglevel(1) opener = urllib2.build_opener(hh, hsh, urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor()) logger = logging.getLogger("cookielib") logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)) logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) response = opener.open("http://wwwsearch.sf.net/cgi-bin/cookietest.cgi";) John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
