Looking for a little help. I'm working on a little project and think using python would be the best way to do it. I am a novice but have read a few beginners books. Well to not waste everyones time i'll just get to it. I'm looking to use web services to get and post data from a server with a java rest interface This is what I have been given from the Java end Java method public java.lang.String getSettings (java.lang.String username, java.lang.String pass, java.lang.String key, java.lang.string tag) url example http://localhost:8080/gettag/tag (retrieve a tag from a DB) i'm told it should return something like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <gettag> <response><tag> [tag''s value] </tag> </response> </gettag> So for what is working -------------------------------- import urllib2 import requests
url = 'http://localhost:8080/gettag/testconnection' response = urllib2.urlopen(url) .read() print response ------------------------------ with this I get the expected response from the server then I have a test to authenticate user and pass url = 'http://localhost:8080/gettag/testauth?username=testuser&pass=123456' and this works This is where I get confused, how do I pass the variable key's value and return the variable tag's value. Thanks in advance for any help, I've tried a bunch of stuff and its just not working.
