Hi,

urllib is not interactive. If you don't send a
login+password you get an "not authorized" response
with the corresponding http error code.
You can check this return code in your script.

By the way, the user/password request (Pop-Up of browser)
is HTTP Basic Authentication, it can be used with
http or https.

HTH,
 Thomas
