How to make URLLIB .urlopen(url1) .urlopen(url2) session related ?

[Xu, C.S.]

How can I make 2 visits to a website session related with python's urllib?
For example, I want my first visit to login ebay.com, next visit to
obtain my listed items info on ebay. How can I make it?

Most web servers use session management (most use cookies), but how
can I tackle session communications at client side?

Appreciate any helps.

Cookies aren't the only state, so make sure to read 3rd paragraph of
this, too:

I should move most of that to the general FAQ page...

Your "Referer" handler works good too... :-)

But the "HTTP-EQUIV"/"Refresh" handler seems to have some problems.
(I'll mail you about this when I know what exactly triggers the problem I
have--I suspect some illegal HTML...)

ClientCookie works great with ebay, and a few other sites I'm interested.

I'd like to donate a few bucks for the author to buy several cups of
coffee during writing more interesting python modules. Where should I
send the money to? Paypal, or check?

ClientCookie will save me a lot time, guaranteed!
