pycurl script can't login to website
- by The Jug
I'm currently trying to get a grasp on pycurl. I'm attempting to login to my own website. After logging into the site it should redirect to the main page. However when trying this script it just gets returned to the login page. What might I be doing wrong?
import pycurl
import urllib
import StringIO
import pycurl
pf = {'username' : 'user', 'password' : 'pass' }
fields = urllib.urlencode(pf)
pageContents = StringIO.StringIO()
p = pycurl.Curl()
p.setopt(pycurl.FOLLOWLOCATION, 1)
p.setopt(pycurl.COOKIEFILE, './cookie_test.txt')
p.setopt(pycurl.COOKIEJAR, './cookie_test.txt')
p.setopt(pycurl.POST, 1)
p.setopt(pycurl.POSTFIELDS, fields)
p.setopt(pycurl.WRITEFUNCTION, pageContents.write)
p.setopt(pycurl.URL, 'http://localhost')
p.perform()
pageContents.seek(0)
print pageContents.readlines()
