session = requests.session()
user='hpqc'
password='xxxxx'
r = session.get("http://hpqc-server:8080/qcbin/authentication-point/authenticate",auth=(user,password))

r = session.get("http://hpqc-server:8080/qcbin/rest/domains/Foo/projects/Bar/requirements/1202")
print(r.text)

The parsing of r.text from XML is left as an exercise.
