HTTPS Login

[Tom Grove]

I am trying to login to a secure website and I am having some difficulty
understanding the process. Here is what I have with my limited
knowledge of the subject:

##Start Code##
#!/usr/bin/env
python



import
urllib

import
urllib2



#
Main

params =
urllib.urlencode({

"user" :
"username",

"pass" :
"password"

})



req = urllib2.Request("https://web.site.com/default.aspx",
params)
data =
urllib2.urlopen(req)



for line in
data.readlines():

print line
##End Code##

This just doesn't seem to work. It just brings me back to a login screen.

If you can lend a hand it would be much appreciated.

Instead of using the following:

req = urllib2.Request("https://web.site.com/default.aspx", params)
data = urllib2.urlopen(req)

Try:

data = urllib.urlopen("https://web.site.com/default.aspx", param)
