 Does it work when you log in using a web browser? If so, grab a
 browser with debugging facilities (Firefox with Firebug, or Chrome
 with its F12 box, or something), do the login, and have a look at
 exactly what request headers are being sent. Then compare with what
 your script is doing. Once you have the two side by side, you can
 progressively work through it until you figure out which header makes
 the difference - maybe your script isn't sending Host, or maybe you
 need a cookie from a previous request, or maybe it's actually checking
 the Referer and rejecting if it isn't right. Could be all sorts of
 things.
 
 Good luck! Might be a tedious job, or might be the first thing you try.

Thanks a lot ChrisA
It works fine while logging in through browser.
Im using firefox, and have checked the headers with firebug.
I tried passing all the headers and it works while passing the cookie header.
My question is whether is it the correct way to try or can i write python 
script in such a way that it can handle it automatically.
Currently for checking login page, it would be fine.But when we go for testing 
registration page it become tedious.

I would also like to get your opinion on load testing with python script.

Thanks in advance,
Diya

 Hai,
 
   Could anyone please help me to resolve 403 forbidden error while logging 
 into an application.
 
 Following is the error details:

 Sorry if the question is not relevant as im new to python.

Thanks Chris Angelico and Dennis Lee Bieber for replying.
Username and password is correct.
Its a simple login script.

import urllib
import httplib2

http = httplib2.Http()

url = 'http://localhost/login_ajax'   
body = {'email': 'x...@google.com', 
'password': '***'}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
response, content = http.request(url, 'POST', headers=headers, 
body=urllib.urlencode(body))
print response

This is the part of the code which im trying to execute. We are trying to load 
test a web application through python script, currently checking the login part.

Thanks in advance,
Diya
