Help With Cookie Jar/Urllib To Log In

[johnpollard]

For some reason this script isn't working and I dont know what it is.
I believe the problem lies in the following lines of code since the script works with a different website and username/password combination:

resp = opener.open('ht tp://www.amm.com/login.asp')
theurl = 'http://www.amm.com/login.asp'
body={'username ':'AMMT54590570 ','password':'A MMT32 564288'}

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
 
import cookielib
import urllib
import urllib2
 
cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(c  j))
resp = opener.open('http://www.amm.com/login.asp') # save a cookie
 
theurl = 'http://www.amm.com/login.asp'
# an example url that sets a cookie, try different urls here and see the cookie collection you can make !
body={'username':'AMMT54590570','password':'AMMT32  564288'}
txdata = urllib.urlencode(body)
# if we were making a POST type request, we could encode a dictionary of values here - using urllib.urlencode
txheaders =  {'User-agent' : 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT)'}
# fake a user agent, some websites (like google) don't like automated exploration
 
 
try:
    req = urllib2.Request(theurl, txdata, txheaders) # create a request object
    handle = opener.open(req) # and open it to return a handle on the url
    HTMLSource = handle.read()
    f = file('test.html', 'w')
    f.write(HTMLSource)
    f.close()
 
except IOError, e:
    print 'We failed to open "%s".' % theurl
    if hasattr(e, 'code'):
        print 'We failed with error code - %s.' % e.code
    elif hasattr(e, 'reason'):
        print "The error object has the following 'reason' attribute :", e.reason
        print "This usually means the server doesn't exist, is down, or we don't have an internet connection."
        sys.exit()
 
else:
    print 'Here are the headers of the page :'
    print handle.info() # handle.read() returns the page, handle.geturl() returns the true url of the page fetched (in case urlopen has followed any redirects, which it sometimes does)
