Re: download pages using a cookies.txt file

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

Thanks, I could put together the pieces and here is my solution:

(1) get_cookies_in_cookiejar function to extract cookies and put them
in a cookiejar:
https://github.com/jabbalaci/jabbapylib/blob/master/jabbapylib/web/export_firefox_cookies.py

(2) download page using urllib2 and passing the cookiejar:
https://github.com/jabbalaci/jabbapylib/blob/master/jabbapylib/web/web.py
See the bottom with get_page_with_cookies_using_cookiejar(url).

Laszlo
