Question

Below is my code for adding a cookie to get a page using getPage. Also is the error message I get. How to I add a cookie? Is cookie is None then the code works.

 cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
 client.getPage(iUrl,headers,method='GET',cookies=cj).addCallback(self.processPage,iUrl).addErrback(self.printError,iUrl)

Looks like you’re passing a cookiejar in the cookie argument. I can’t find a reference for that working.

I’ve tried passing a simple dict and it works. Here’s the full code:

from twisted.web import client
import pprint

def processPage (page, url):
    print len(page), 'bytes received'
    print 'cookies: ', pprint.pformat(cj)

def printError(error, url):
    print 'ERROR: ', error.getErrorMessage()

def end(ignore):
    reactor.stop()

iUrl = 'http://twistedmatrix.com'

headers = []

cj = {}
client.getPage(iUrl,headers,method='GET',cookies=cj).addCallback(processPage,iUrl).addErrback(printError,iUrl).addBoth(end)


from twisted.internet import reactor
reactor.run()

And here’s output:

10660 bytes received
cookies: 
{'trac_form_token': '940bfe8055b63872303017ba',
 'trac_session': '5a3500ec1bc8efad40974a31'}
