Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Allan B. Wilson (allanbwilson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: urllib2 authentication redirection error(?) Initial Comment: I am trying to use urllib2 to retrieve a page from a site requiring authentication. I supply the authentication parameters, which succeed, and *a* page is returned -- but not the page I originally requested. As it turns out, the authentication is handled at a completely different URL (actually a different domain); I can confirm this by not supplying authentication data, because I see a 302 earlier in the traceback when authentication fails. What I think is happening is that the redirect happens to the authentication site, but the original URL that I wanted has been forgotten. The page I get back is the default page for the original (now authenticated) site, not the page itself, which is deeper down in the site hierarchy. Sorry, I can't supply a patch!

Let's do close it out on that basis.

Please supply one, or close the bug.
