I've written the following function which successfully gets an<br>
authenticated URL:<br>
def getRestrictedURL(authName,URL,log,pswd):<br>
auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()<br>
auth_handler.add_password(authName, URL,log,pswd)<br>
opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth_handler)<br>
urllib2.install_opener(opener)<br>
return opener.open(URL).read()<br>
# But, alas, any links in content 'beneath' the URL<br>
# require additional authentication.<br>
Any way around this?<br>
Thanks<br>
