For those interested, it seems like a good combination is urllib2 +
cookielib:
==========
import urllib2
import cookielib
#Set up proxy infos
proxy_info = { 'host' : 'localhost','port' : 8119}
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" :
"http://%(host)s:%(port)d" % proxy_info})
#Set up cookie handler
cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
#Create UrlLib2 opener
opener =
urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support,urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
headers = {'User-Agent' : 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows
NT)' }
url = 'http://www.acme.com'
req = urllib2.Request(url, None, headers)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()
for index, cookie in enumerate(cj):
print index, ' : ', cookie
==========
