... handler = urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(jar) pm = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() # use None for realm: send username and password for all realms pm.add_password(None, "http://example.com/";, "joe", "password") auth_handler = HTTPBasicAuthHandler(pm) opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler, auth_handler) ... Note that (I just noticed that) using both basic auth and digest auth handlers at the same time is broken, at least in SVN :-(( John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
