This is giving me 401 error, authorization required. Here's what I have:
auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password('realm', '127.0.0.1', 'myname', 'password')
opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
print urllib2.urlopen('http://nnn.nnn.n.n').read()
This is almost the literal code, except I changed my log in name and
passowrd.
What am I supposed to put for realm? I checked the docs on line, and it
doens't mention what realm is.
Also, I assume I am supposed to use the loopback address when I set up
the handler?
Also, I know I am going to have another question once I solve this one,
and since it is directly related, I'll ask it now. How can I use a
password system that is not hardcoded in my text? Should I just setup a
password file?
Thanks
Paul
