-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
this is probably a dumb question but I just cannot find a way how to create AuthHandler which would add Authorization header to the FIRST request. The only thing I see in urllib2.py are various http_error handler which add Authorization header to the ADDITIONAL request which handles the error. However, when looking at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt, section 2, I see this: A client MAY preemptively send the corresponding Authorization header with requests for resources in that space without receipt of another challenge from the server. And really many servers (e.g., api.github.com) expect the Authorization header to be sent with the initial request, and actually they broken (http://developer.github.com/v3/auth/#basic-authentication) so instead of 401 they send 404 status code. Anybody has any idea how to subclass *AuthHandler so that it would add the header on the initial request? Best, Matěj -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFS9kui4J/vJdlkhKwRAqH1AJ9884WT6pjdu/U54khpHUUVWRcFkgCdEQn9 TNtb2lcc4Nrf1zmftn5u8Zg= =4R/2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
