thank for any ideas until now

what i found out

1.) the whole thing works *without* cookies
     (i blocked them, with same results)

2.) the shortest way to call the correct page is this

V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V

import httplib

host = 'accounting.ewave.at'

h = httplib.HTTP()
h.connect(host)

h.putrequest('GET', '/accounting.cgi')
h.endheaders()

status, reason, headers = h.getreply()

print status
print reason
print headers

print h.getfile().read()

V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V  V

the result is of course "no login-name provided"

everybody is invited to provide some login with pwd
to change the result to "wrong username" or "wrong password"

the exact (german) result you can check out easily by typing somthing into
the form at accounting.ewave.at

thanks for spending your time
