Senthil Kumaran added the comment: Yes, urllib2 does not have any support for NTML based authentication. And it is a long pending feature request too.
For 2.7, the best way to handle this might be, instead of crashing on WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate, which is a valid response from IIS (1). It should detect it and fail with a helpful message to use a 3rdparty handler along with urllib2 [2] And for 3.5, I think it is worthy to consider adding the support in stdlib. @Daniel Holth - I see you are the owner of it. If we choose to adopt it, do you give permission to reuse portions of code (with correct attribution) in the stdlib? 1) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms995330#http-sso-2_topic1 2) https://code.google.com/p/python-ntlm/ ---------- assignee: -> orsenthil nosy: +dholth _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22496> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
