Hi, I am creating a webscraper for a specific web site for an application. Now, that website has a specific cookie which needs to be set in the request. Otherwise, the website is redirected. I have been trying for the last 6 hours to add a cookie to the HTTP request, but to no avail. I tried mechanize for some time, then found the cookielib module which again is a copy of it. For such a small thing, the whole setup seems to be too complicated.
The only way I could get any cookie in using the extract_cookies from a cookiejar. But that will not help me because I want to add one cookie - not get cookie from req and send it back. Can anyone help me out? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
