httplib or urllib2 tomcat username and password

I am trying to write a Python client to access a Tomcat servlet using Tomcat
Realm authentication with no success.

I can use the httplib to connect to localhost port 8080 ok and post and get
and all that is fine, but when I try to set username and password and access
a protected part of tomcat it fails with an Unauthorized.

Does anyone have an example of connecting to Tomcat using the Tomcat Realm
(.i.e. tomcat-users.xml) authentication?

I have also tried urllib2 and the example in the header comments still gives
me a HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized when I try to open
http://localhost:8080/slide/

Thanks.

I'm using a library based on httplib. Recently i've done a conversion for use of https with a key and certificate file. This goes perfectly :-) . Now, the problem is passing throw an http_proxy. It seems because httplib (based on socket.py) try to autenticate on the proxy. I'm only with this problem ? it's impossible :-|

Hi, I am having a problem with the httplib HTTPConnection object. While I can easily send requests that don't have any payload (ie. "get"), I encounter issues if I want to post xml data. If you look at the class below, when req == 'getFreeBusyInfo' all functions perfectly, but when req == 'conflictRequest' I run into problems of the nature "400 Bad Request". As you will notice, I also tried the shorter HTTPConnection instance method...

Hi all, Has anyone ever seen Python 2.4.1's httplib choke when reading chunked content? I'm using it via urrlib2, and I ran into a particular server that returns something that httplib doesn't expect. Specifically, in the code below where the error occurs, line == ''. Python 2.4.1 (#2, Oct 12 2005, 01:36:32) 20050518] on freebsd6 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import urllib2

I'm working on learning how to use urllib2 to use a proxy server. I've looked through the postings on this group, and it's been helpful. I have not, however, found complete documentation on the add_password() functions. Here's what I've got so far: #======================================== import urllib2 url = 'http://some.server/form.php' proxy_url = 'http://202.62.252.3:8080' # A publicly available anonymous

I activated httplib debug, and when trace are printed, a UnicodeError exception is thrown. I have already set sys.stdout to use utf-8 encoding (this removed the exception when *I* was printing unicode), but from the stacktrace below, the encoding seems to magically have switched to 'ascii' when httplib does the printing... import codecs import sys sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter("utf-8")(sys.__stdout__) ....

Hi, The following piece of code works properly when my proxy password contains characters etc. But when my proxy password contained something like '|\/|' , the httplib incorrectly indentified it as separator. How do I resolve this issue. <code> # Proxy Address PROXY_IP = "1.1.9.8:80"

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
