Python GAE urlfetch credentials

Question

I\'d like to know if the Google App Engine URL Fetch Python API does not support accessing URLs that have credentials:

http://username:password@www.domain.co         


        

Answer 1

SOLUTION - here's how it should be done:

result = urlfetch.fetch("http://www.domain.com/",
                        headers={"Authorization": 
                                 "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode("username:password")})
