Python: urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

Question

I was trying to load a web page, but I ran into this problem. I do have the username and password, but I don\'t know how to use them in python code. I looked up on python tutori

Answer 1

Here is working code

import urllib2

url = 'http://www.abc.com/index.html'
username = 'user'
password = 'pass'
p = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()

p.add_password(None, url, username, password)

handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(p)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)

page = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
