They are forked because the urllib2 code was buggy in 2.4. I submitted the fixes to SF, and they're there in Python 2.5. Also, ISTR I added a new proxy password manager to make the front-end proxy auth interface friendlier (probably I should have written a new one from scratch rather than derivint it from the urllib2 code...). > The corresponding find_user_password function is never called (at least > in my case). I'm currently trying to figure out why... That suggests you're not getting the expected 401 response from the server. Turn on logging of HTTP request and response headers -- either in twill, or using a simple mechanize script like the one I posted. To turn on the logging you need in mechanize: import mechanize hh = mechanize.HTTPHandler() hsh = mechanize.HTTPHandler() hh.set_http_debuglevel(1) hsh.set_http_debuglevel(1) opener = mechanize.build_opener(hh, hsh) response = opener.open(url) # etc. John _______________________________________________ twill mailing list [email protected] http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/twill
