Below is what my response.info() gives when I attempt login.. There is no
'set-cookie' header at all in the response. :-(

Below is the postData function that I have tweaked
def postData(self, address, data,
contentType='application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
sysop=False, useCookie=True, compress=True):
req=urllib2.Request('http://' + self.hostname() + address)
req.add_unredirected_header('Content-Length', str(len(data)))
req.add_header('Content-type', contentType)
req.add_header('User-agent', useragent)
if useCookie and self.cookies(sysop = sysop):
req.add_header('Cookie', self.cookies(sysop = sysop))
if compress:
req.add_header('Accept-encoding', 'gzip')
req.add_data(data)
cookies = urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(cookies)
response = opener.open(req)
data = response.read()
if compress:
print response.info()
headers = str(response.info()).split('\n')
for i in headers:
if i.startswith('Content-Encoding: gzip'):
data = decompress_gzip(data)
data = data.decode(self.encoding())
response.close()
self._getUserData(data, sysop = sysop)
return response, data
Any help would be much appreciated !

Jacob

Subject: Login from behind Proxy
Hi all,
I operate my bot - DragonBot - in wikipedias. Until a week or so back, my
bot could login to wikipedias and wiktionaries from behind a proxy - by
tweaking the wikipedia.py post function . Now I observe that it can't login.
1. My source code hasn't changed.
2. I tried with the 24-Apr Nightly codebase as well.
Has something been changed in the wikipedia server configuration? Say,
disabling proxy caching or something like that at the server..
Regards,
Jacob
