sending http request to apache through a python script

Question

All,

How do we send a http request through a python script.which will login and in turn call another link?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Have you looked at httplib? urllib may also be worth looking at as it is a slightly higher level interface.

Answer 2

I find that Urllib2 suffices in most cases. It has great support for passwords, authentication and cookies. Cookielib might help too.
