Cookie or not..?

[mrcoludk]

Hello Group.

I am a Python noob, and need some help. I am trying to log in to website using python and parse info after login.

In a browser, this link will log me in and keep me loged in:
http://[domain].com/loginh.aspx?SID=[xxx]&USER=[xxx]&PW=[xxx]

(sorry for the tripple x, but it is actually not something nasty )


I normally do this


import os
import shutil
import utils
import urllib2

lobj = urllib2.urlopen('[URL-sorce]')
print lobj.read()


.... and then parse output, but i need to login to get all info.

Any input will be appreciated.

You will need to understand a little about http protocol, and cookies.
Try starting here: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/

Look at the "cookielib" (called "cookiejar" for Python 3) module
in Python's library.
