I’m new to python and after struggling with myself a little bit I almost got the code to working.
import urllib, urllib2, cookielib
username = 'myuser'
password = 'mypass'
cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
login = urllib.urlencode({'user' : username, 'pass' : password})
opener.open('http://www.ok.com/', login)
mailb = opener.open('http://www.ok.com/mailbox').read()
print mailb
But the output I got after print is just a redirect page.
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=https://login.ok.com/login.html?skin=login-page&dest=REDIR|http://www.ok.com/mailbox">
<HTML dir=ltr><HEAD><TITLE>OK :: Redirecting</TITLE>
</head>
</html>
Thanks
If a browser got that response, it would interpret it as a request to redirect to the URL specified.
You will need to do something similar with your script. You need to parse the
<META>tag and locate the URL and then do a GET on that URL.
