302s and losing cookies with urllib2

Question

I am using liburl2 with CookieJar / HTTPCookieProcessor in an attempt to simulate a login to a page to automate an upload.

I\'ve seen some questions and answers on this,

Answer 1

Depends on how the redirect is done. If it's done via a HTTP Refresh, then mechanize has a HTTPRefreshProcessor you can use. Try to create an opener like this:

cj = mechanize.CookieJar()
opener = mechanize.build_opener(
    mechanize.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj),
    mechanize.HTTPRefererProcessor,
    mechanize.HTTPEquivProcessor,
    mechanize.HTTPRefreshProcessor)
