Hello,
>From a shell script, I have used /usr/bin/curl to access a web site
and pass a cookie (as required by the site). But, I can't seem to
accomplish this task with Python. I would like to use the httplib
module to do this. Any thoughts on this subject? I would like to
hard code the cookie in the code so it works every time:
i.e. cookie = 'auth=buster%3A12345678901234567890exZ9rzMqgtxa5A'.
The question is - how do I pass it with httplib? Here is what I have
so far:
# Import external modules
import sys
import httplib
# Define our site and path
WP_SERVER="www.foo.com"
WP_PATH='/somedir/confirmquery?value=%s'
try:
# Grab the command line argument
uservalue = sys.argv[1]
# Use the httplib module and connect
conn=httplib.HTTPConnection(WP_SERVER)
conn.request('GET',WP_PATH % uservalue)
response=conn.getresponse()
data=response.read()
conn.close()
print data
except:
print "Some stupid error occurred"
sys.exit(1)
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Scott
