Getting a 401 from requests.get, but not when logging in via the browser.

[dcwhatthe at gmail.com]

I'm validating several sites in a row, and most of them connect successfully.  

However, one of them immediately returns a 401.  I'm using the exact same credentials to check this site, as when loggin in.

Also, interestingly, it returns the 401 right away.  I tried setting the timeout value for a ridiculously long time, but it passes the 401 return immediately.

Am I misunderstanding the meaning of the timeout parameter?


The line in question is 


request = requests.get(ip_s,timeout=5000, verify = False, auth =HTTPBasicAuth( user_id_s, pw_s))
