Hi all,

I have spent the better part of this day reading docs and googling archives to no avail. About this: I understand that I can access password protected sites with urllib2. However, the protocol seems to be: I try without password and catch the error coming back. The header will then tell me what the server expects in the line of formats. That doesn't work with a site I am dealing with, because the opening page does not require a password. It presents an id/password entry template and I have no clue how to respond in python. The page source is chock full of java script. The header--if that means anything--is:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang = "en-us">

<head id="ctl00_Head1"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <link id="ctl00_glbalLayoutCSS" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/cve/p/6/Default/Styles/global_layout.css" />
... more CSS
<!-- Site level default. The only time a firm.css is required is for segment variations. -->

I don't expect solutions, but rather pointers to relevant reading.

Thanks

Frederic
