    <p>I am trying to find how i can use basic authentication using urllib2 in python to get the issue KEY <a href="http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/" rel="nofollow">The JIRA REST API</a> describes the URI's available</p> <p>Thanks for the sugestions, i will try it, meanwhile, i just wanted to update this with my own effort: Here is the sample python code i tried:</p> <pre><code>import urllib2, sys, re, base64 from urlparse import urlparse theurl = 'http://my.rest-server.com:8080/rest/api/latest/AA-120' # if you want to run this example you'll need to supply a protected page with y our username and password username = 'username' password = 'password' # a very bad password req = urllib2.Request(theurl) print req try: handle = urllib2.urlopen(req) print handle except IOError, e: # here we are assuming we fail pass else: # If we don't fail then the page isn't protected print "This page isn't protected by authentication." sys.exit(1) if not hasattr(e, 'code') or e.code != 401: # we got an error - but not a 401 error print "This page isn't protected by authentication." print 'But we failed for another reason.' sys.exit(1) authline = e.headers.get('www-authenticate', '') # this gets the www-authenticat line from the headers - which has the authentication scheme and realm in it if not authline: print 'A 401 error without an authentication response header - very weird.' sys.exit(1) authobj = re.compile(r'''(?:\s*www-authenticate\s*:)?\s*(\w*)\s+realm=['"](\w+)['"]''', re.IGNORECASE) # this regular expression is used to extract scheme and realm matchobj = authobj.match(authline) if not matchobj: # if the authline isn't matched by the regular expression then something is wrong print 'The authentication line is badly formed.' sys.exit(1) scheme = matchobj.group(1) print scheme realm = matchobj.group(2) print realm if scheme.lower() != 'basic': print 'This example only works with BASIC authentication.' sys.exit(1) base64string = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password))[:-1] authheader = "Basic %s" % base64string req.add_header("Authorization", authheader) try: handle = urllib2.urlopen(req) except IOError, e: # here we shouldn't fail if the username/password is right print "It looks like the username or password is wrong." sys.exit(1) thepage = handle.read() server = urlparse(theurl)[1].lower() # server names are case insensitive, so we will convert to lower case test = server.find(':') if test != -1: server = server[:test] # remove the :port information if present, we're working on the principle that realm names per serve r are likely to be unique... passdict = {(server, realm) : authheader } # now if we get another 401 we can test for an entry in passdict before having to ask the user for a username/password print 'Done successfully - information now stored in passdict.' print 'The webpage is stored in thepage.' </code></pre> <p>--- and i get the result: This page isn't protected by authentication. But we failed for another reason.</p> <p>whereas the page is protected by authentication</p> <p>I tried installing requests, but got error:</p> <pre><code>sudo easy_install requests Searching for requests Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/requests/ Reading https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests Reading http://python-requests.org Best match: requests 0.9.1 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/requests/requests-0.9.1.tar.gz#md5=8ed4667edb5d57945b74a9137adbb8bd Processing requests-0.9.1.tar.gz Running requests-0.9.1/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-lTQu8K/requests-0.9.1/egg-dist-tmp-M2yQCt Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/easy_install", line 7, in ? sys.exit( File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 1712, in main with_ei_usage(lambda: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 1700, in with_ei_usage return f() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 1716, in &lt;lambda&gt; distclass=DistributionWithoutHelpCommands, **kw File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/distutils/core.py", line 149, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/distutils/dist.py", line 946, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/distutils/dist.py", line 966, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 211, in run self.easy_install(spec, not self.no_deps) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 446, in easy_install return self.install_item(spec, dist.location, tmpdir, deps) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 476, in install_item dists = self.install_eggs(spec, download, tmpdir) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 655, in install_eggs return self.build_and_install(setup_script, setup_base) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 930, in build_and_install self.run_setup(setup_script, setup_base, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 919, in run_setup run_setup(setup_script, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 61, in run_setup DirectorySandbox(setup_dir).run( File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 105, in run return func() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.4.egg/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 64, in &lt;lambda&gt; {'__file__':setup_script, '__name__':'__main__'} File "setup.py", line 6, in ?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
