#94698 — Using requests with an Authorization header?

Has anyone ever used an authorization header with the requests library?  I tried using:


>>> from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
>>> requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=HTTPBasicAuth('user', 'pass')

from their docs online but that's not working and I don't see anything about authorization headers

This is, I'm sorry to say, almost completely unhelpful - and also
extremely common. Can you please post the full details of (a) what you
did, (b) what happened or didn't happen, and (c) what you expect to
happen?

For example, are you sure the server supports what you're trying to do?

We are using it like this (successfully):

requests.post(url, data=data, params=params,
              auth=(user, passwd), timeout=timeout,
              verify=verify, headers=jsonHeaders,
              )

i.e. "user" and "password" are not wrapped into an "HTTPBasicAuth"
but directly passed as tuple. However, I expect that
it would also work with an "HTTPBasicAuth" wrapping.


Note that you must pass the real username and password, not
the literals "'user'" and "'pass'".
