Sorry... I thought you were saying you had found a way to *circumvent* the authentication. Good to hear that wasn't what you meant. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for urllib2... I've only used that for making POST requests, I've never used it with HTTP authentication. Perhaps someone on comp.lang.python would know if nobody here speaks up... it's more of a general Python question. Dylan On Tue, 2003-05-20 at 13:25, Damon Butler wrote:

Tests with the wget utility show that it is possible to get past the authorization
Oh? Has anyone else seen this?
Whaddya mean? The following command returns the proper HTML:
wget --http-user=username --http-passwd=password http://localhost:8080/manage_main
This tells me that it is possible to supply the username and password programatically from outside the Zope framework and (presumably) get some real work done. But the authorization doesn't carry through under python.urllib2. Why is that?
