    Access SSL websites with Python?

    I need to access a web site, log in, run a report and download the
    results, which will be added to a database. Of course, the login
    process uses SSL. Is it reasonable to attempt this with Python 2.3 on
    Windows 2000 platform? Can anyone provide an example of negotiating an
    SSL session?

      urllib2 should be able to use HTTPS:// urls just fine.

      If you require cookie processing to log in on the website,
      look at ClientForm and/or ClientCookie.
      (http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ClientForm/)
