Accessing web site with cookies - help need

[Miki Tebeka]

Hello All,

Ok, I'm dumb.

I've been reading about accessing html pages and cookies and tried to
retrieve
some web pages from the sites:
http::/www.themarker.co.il

But I can't get through. (All I get is the the login page)

So far what I did:

import httplib
import base64
import string

h = httplib.HTTP('www.themarker.co.il')
h.putrequest('GET',
'/ibo/article.jhtml?ElementId=%2Fibo%2Frepositories%2Fstories%2Fm1_2000%2Fgb
20010815_1.xml&origin=ibo&layer=hp&layer2=&layer3=')

userid = 'my-user-id'
passwd = 'my-password'
auth = 'Basic ' + string.strip(base64.encodestring(userid + ':' + passwd))
h.putheader('Authorization', auth )
h.putheader('Cookie', 'NGUserID=ac15011f-5001-997078050-1') # this one I got
from the Windows Cookie directory
h.endheaders()

errcode, errmsg, headers = h.getreply()
if (errcode == 200):
    f = h.getfile()
    data = f.read() # Get the raw HTML
    f.close()
    print data
else:
    print "Can't access file"

Bye.
