urllib post and redirect = fail

L

LoD MoD

I'm trying to do a post to log into a simple admin console. All I get
is a simple you need to log in error. I already mapped the form id's
to make sure they are correct, but it still seems to deny.
I know mechanize would probably do a better job of this than urllib,
but their docs for python aren't available online right now. Any help
is appreciated.


import urllib, urllib2

# build opener with HTTPCookieProcessor
o = urllib2.build_opener( urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor() )
urllib2.install_opener( o )

# assuming the site expects 'user' and 'pass' as query params
#p = urllib.urlencode( { 'j_character_encoding' : 'UTF-8',
'j_username': 'cooduser', 'j_password': 'password' } )
p = urllib.urlencode(dict(j_username='cooduser', j_password='password'))
# perform login with params
f = o.open( 'http://myserver:5000/login/LoginForm.jsp', p )
data = f.read()
f.close()
print data

Here is the form source:
<form id="loginData" name="loginData" method="post"
action="/console/j_security_check">
<div class="message-row">



<p class="loginFailed"><img src="/console/images/message_error.gif"
alt='Authentication Denied '>
Authentication Denied</p>

<p>The username or password has been refused by Server.
Please try again.</p>



</div>
<div class="input-row">
<label for="j_username">
Username:</label>
<span class="ctrl">
<input class="textinput" type="text" name="j_username"
id="j_username">
</span>

</div>
<div class="input-row">
<label for="j_password">
Password:</label>
<span class="ctrl">
<input class="textinput" type="password" name="j_password"
id="j_password">
</span>
</div>

<div class="button-row">
<span class="ctrl">
<input class="formButton" type="submit"
onclick="form.submit();this.disabled=true;document.body.style.cursor
= 'wait'; this.className='formButton-disabled';"
value='Log In'>
</span>
<input type="hidden" name="j_character_encoding" value="UTF-8">
</div>
</form>

The response code is 200.
