Question

I just wanna ask how to make a connection [user+pass] with A page that give you 401 response.

For example in php its seem like that

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://192.168.1.1/');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user.':'.$pass);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

$returnCode = (int)curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

You’re looking for the Keyword Basic HTTP Authentication.

I do not recommend using 3rd party modules if you won’t be going further than doing that. If you will, the requests library already suggested is a great choice.

The following example is taken from the urllib2 docs:

import urllib2
# create a password manager
password_mgr = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()

# Add the username and password.
# If we knew the realm, we could use it instead of None.
top_level_url = "http://example.com/foo/"
password_mgr.add_password(None, top_level_url, username, password)

handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr)

# create "opener" (OpenerDirector instance)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler)

# use the opener to fetch a URL
opener.open(a_url)

# Install the opener.
# Now all calls to urllib2.urlopen use our opener.
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
