Hi all,

I want to use python to access to https server, like
"https://212.218.229.10/chinatest/";

If open it from IE, will see the pop-up login windows like this



I tried several ways but always only get page for" HTTP Error 401.2 -
Unauthorized" error. ( myusername and mypassword are all correct)

Below is my code:

import urllib2

values = {

     'user' : "myusername",

"pass' : "mypassword" }

data = urllib2.urlencode(values)

t = urllib2.urlopen('https://212.218.229.10/chinatest/',data)

print t.read()

where I am wrong ?

AFAIR does urlopen() expect the password to be Base64-encoded, not urlencoded.

You might also need to add an AUTH-Line. But this all does not matter, as there is more than one AUTH-Method you'd have to implement them all, but fortunately urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler and urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler exist.

So use them:

import urllib2
passman = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
passman.add_password(None, theurl, username, password)
authhandler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(passman)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(authhandler)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
pagehandle = urllib2.urlopen(theurl)
