This is actually already built into Twill. From: http://darcs.idyll.org/~t/projects/twill/doc/commands.html
--- add_auth <realm> <uri> <user> <password> -- add HTTP Basic Authentication information for the given realm/URI combination. For example, add_auth IdyllStuff http://www.idyll.org/ titus test tells twill that a request from the authentication realm "IdyllStuff" under http://www.idyll.org/ should be answered with username 'titus', password 'test'. If the 'with_default_realm' option is set to True, ignore 'realm'. --- This is how I can do it from the command line: [EMAIL PROTECTED] terryp :: python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Apr 7 2006, 10:54:33) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from twill.commands import * >>> u = "http://www.foo.com"; >>> add_auth("Foo Realm", u, "someuser", "somepass") Added auth info: realm 'Foo Realm' / URI 'http://www.foo.com' / user 'someuser' >>> go(u) ==> at http://www.yeah.com 'http://www.yeah.com' >>> The trick in my mind is getting the 'Realm' right - but in the dialog box that get's thrown it should be mentioned.
