win32com with basic authentication

[jeff]

does anyone can help me with following situation.
I use win32com.client to dispatch IE for a URL
browing.
However, the URL I am going require a HTTP basic
authentication login.
When IE starts to brow,the Login window pop up.
I was trying to enter the right password for it, but
IE wouldn't take it. it just keep poping up login
window. How do I write auto login method to send
user/password with COM method to bypass pop window for
login.
Or you might also help me how to dispatch for Netscape
browser. How do I dispatch it with a opening brower?
I know how to do it for IE, but don't know how to get
Info for netscape.


thanks for help.


Jeff

This is a question for the microsoft.* newsgroups.

Netscape... does that exist any more (serious question)? As for
Mozilla, try PyXPCOM. Or DCOP and Konqueror (or possibly, you might
be able to write a plugin for Konqueror using PyKDE now, not sure).
I've never tried either, and they might be a pain to get built and
working.

For most sites, you can embed the username and password into the url like
this:
http://username:password@www.sitename.com

Hi !

Search "ClientForm ". This can help you.
"Auto-it" is another solution.

You (jeff) need basic HTTP auth too, which is urllib2's job.

If you use urllib2, the library docs for authentication are a bit
lacking ATM, so see the examples here:

http://www.python.org/sf/798244

If you use them, *please* leave a comment to indicate whether the docs
there are OK.
