Grab text from html with user and pass???

[Paul Goodyear]

I am trying to pull out a Ip address from a .html file,

I have done this successfully already BUT,

The site has a password, the username is blank and the pass word is ****
blah blah

When I run the

[code]      url.urlopen('http://www.blah.com/ip.html')

all I get is "Enter username for ** at ** :"   if i press just return I am
then asked for the password, after entering the password the process just
keeps repeating.

I know for well that the password is correct, I just need it to accept a
blank username

Regards,
