urllib and linksys router

[Darrell Gallion]

Tried to use urllib to access my linksys router, which requires a password.
After much pain, it turns out the router needs to see the request as one
string.
Maybe it's a timing thing since urllib sends each line separately.

This works.

def direct():
    s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
    s.connect("192.168.1.1",80)

    msgs=[
    'GET /Status.htm HTTP/1.0\015\012',
    'Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxx==\015\012',
    '\015\012',
    ]
    s.send(string.join(msgs,''))
    print s.recv(1024)
    print s.recv(1024)
