    copied!<p>I'm slamming my head against the wall with this one. I've been trying every example, reading every last bit I can find online about basic http authorization with urllib2, but I can not figure out what is causing my specific error. </p> <p>Adding to the frustration is that the code works for one page, and yet not for another. logging into www.mysite.com/adm goes absolutely smooth. It authenticates no problem. Yet if I change the address to 'http://mysite.com/adm/items.php?n=201105&amp;c=200' I receive this error:</p> <pre><code>&lt;h4 align="center" class="teal"&gt;Add/Edit Items&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Client:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Event:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="error"&gt;Not enough information to complete this task&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="error"&gt;This is a fatal error so I am exiting now.&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>Searching google has lead to zero information on this error. </p> <p>The adm is a frame set page, I'm not sure if that's relevant at all. </p> <p>Here is the current code:</p> <pre><code>import urllib2, urllib import sys import re import base64 from urlparse import urlparse theurl = 'http://xxxxxmedia.com/adm/items.php?n=201105&amp;c=200' username = 'XXXX' password = 'XXXX' passman = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() passman.add_password(None, theurl,username,password) authhandler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(passman) opener = urllib2.build_opener(authhandler) urllib2.install_opener(opener) pagehandle = urllib2.urlopen(theurl) url = 'http://xxxxxxxmedia.com/adm/items.php?n=201105&amp;c=200' values = {'AvAudioCD': 1, 'AvAudioCDDiscount': 00, 'AvAudioCDPrice': 50, 'ProductName': 'python test', 'frmSubmit': 'Submit' } #opener2 = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor()) data = urllib.urlencode(values) req = urllib2.Request(url, data) response = urllib2.urlopen(req) </code></pre> <p>This is just one of the many versions I've tried. I've followed every example from Urllib2 Missing Manual but still receive the same error. </p> <p>Can anyone point to what I'm doing wrong?</p>
