Here is a simple example of what I mean: If I type
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/default/site at my browser when I am logged in, I get the installed applications page. However if I do it by calling the test routine below def test(): import urllib url="http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/default/site"; f = urllib.urlopen(url) s = f.read() return s I have to login again even though I am logged in on my computer. So the question is, can I somehow add the 'context' to s so that it recognises that I am already logged in? I am using web2py's admin as an example, but the solution should work for any website.
