Hi , I am using python2.4 "urllib2" and "cookelib". In line "5" below i provide my credentials to login into a web site.During the first attempt i "fail", judging from the output of line "6". I try again and the second time i succeed,judging from the output of line "8".
Now using the "twill" module (http://www.idyll.org/~t/www-tools/twill/) it suceeds in the first attempt(lines "10" to "19"). can anybody explain, in the first case why i need to do two attempts. 1) >>>import urllib2,urllib,cookielib 2) >>>cj = cookielib.CookieJar() 3) >>>opener = urllib2.build_opener( urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)) 4) >>>data = urllib.urlencode ( { "username" : "user" , "password" :"****" } ) 5) >>>fp = opener.open( "https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/LoginSubmit.do",data ) 6) >>>fp.url 'https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/ReLogin.do?url_bounce=/network/index.pxt' 7) >>>fp = opener.open( "https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/LoginSubmit.do",data ) 8) >>>fp.url 'https://rhn.redhat.com/network/index.pxt' #twill module 10) >>>from twill.commands import * 11) >>>go("https://rhn.redhat.com";) 12) ==> at https://rhn.redhat.com 13) 'https://rhn.redhat.com' 14) >>>fv("2","username","user") 15) >>>fv("2","password","****") 16) >>>submit() 17) Note: submit is using submit button: name="None", value="  Sign In " 18) >>>url('https://rhn.redhat.com/network/index.pxt') 19) 'https://rhn.redhat.com/network/index.pxt' Thanks jn jn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
