In an external method, I want to perform an HTTP POST to a remote web site, to submit a record to a database.
The remote site requires basic HTTP authentication to submit the data, the users database is in synch with my Zope.
My external method:
def DoHTTPpost (firstname, lastname, email): """ This function performs an HTTP Post and returns the resulting data. No parsing of the data is done. """ import urllib TheURL = 'http://somedomain.com/databasescript' postData = {'Firstname':firstname, 'Lastname':lastname, 'Email':email} codedData = urllib.urlencode(postData) TheCall = urllib.urlopen(TheURL, codedData) return TheCall.read()
This works fine if the authentication on the remote site is switched off. How can I supply the current user's name and password in my urlopen call?
What's the syntax and how do I get the current users name and password?
If this is not possible in an external method, how could it be done?
Cheers
Marc
