Again, can't speak for mechanoid, but it should be straightforward with mechanize (simplifiying one of the examples from the URL below): http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/ br = Browser() br.add_password("http://example.com/protected/";, "joe", "password") br.set_debug_http(True) # Print HTTP headers. br.open("http://www.example.com/protected/blah.html";) print br.response().read() John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
