httplib or urllib2 tomcat username and password

[Michael Oliver]

I am trying to write a Python client to access a Tomcat servlet using Tomcat
Realm authentication with no success.

 

I can use the httplib to connect to localhost port 8080 ok and post and get
and all that is fine, but when I try to set username and password and access
a protected part of tomcat it fails with an Unauthorized.

 

Does anyone have an example of connecting to Tomcat using the Tomcat Realm
(.i.e. tomcat-users.xml) authentication?

I have also tried urllib2 and the example in the header comments still gives
me a HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized when I try to open
http://localhost:8080/slide/



 

Thanks.
