Help with mechanize

[Neal Becker]

I'm trying to use mechanize to read for a M$ mail server. I can get past the login page OK using:

import mechanize

b = mechanize.Brows er()
b.open ('https://mail.hughes.com/owa/auth/logon.aspx?url= https://mail.hughes.com/OWA/&reason=0')
b.select_form(n r=0)
b['username']='myname'
b['password']='password'
b.submit()

Now it seems if I read b.links() I can see links to my mail. My question is, how do I now actually get the contents of this page?

Have you tried follow_link() method?
In your case it should be something like:

response = b.follow_link(b .links()[0]) # I suppose links()
# returns a list or tuple
print response.info() # headers
print response.read() # body

IIRC, it's described in the documentation.
