Does ActivePython have built-in support for HTTPS
and SSL?
What is the most straight-forward way for me to use
Python to
download web pages over HTTPS? The doc pages for
urllib2 don't
give many examples, and I don't think I have SSL
loaded either
(I don't see socket.ssl). Basically, I want to
write a web screen scraping
application similar to Yodlee. I need to login to a
secure page and download
the HTML and then parse it for
content.
I looked at mxcrypto and m2crypto, but none of
these had simple
examples of just client HTTPS grabbing web pages
from a server.
Maybe I could build a proxy server in Java or
C...
I'm hoping for something simple like this (this
does not work, of course):
import
urllib
url = urllib.urlopen('https://www.myfoo.com/servlet/login') page
= url.read()
url.close()
print page
Yours,
Noah
