If I open a web page in my browser, I get a pop-up window that informs me that I need to provide authorization information. But often, in addition, that little pop-up window will give me some additional information supplied by the page itself. For example, the chromium browser pop-up might say, "The server requires a username and password. The server says: xxxxxxxxx"
But when I attempt to get any part of an authorization-required page using urllib2.urlopen(), I immediately receive the 401 error. Even the intended object variable is left in an undefined state, so using info() doesn't seem to work. How can I get that information from the server?
