Voinage (or any other python guru out there)

following this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=33713 ...

I have a question: is it possible for an XBMC python plugin or script to authenticate itself (session? cookies?) on a website as we do via the browser?

I am finalized an script for Globo.com. I can parse all files, find the correct video files, provided I am authenticated, which I can only do via my browser on the PC.

Any clue on how to pass user/pwd information via a python script.

Here an example of video links protected behind authentication. I am subscriber of this website service, and have a proper login. I just want to know whether it is possible to somehow login via python on XBMC.

You need to use cookie lib.

Search for the sirius radio script and look at the cookie auth within that.

I`m a bit tied up at the moment to help more . sorry.

Tks Voinage

I will have a look. Don't spend your time in Globo.com request (other than the auth if you can). I can do a very basic script (not plugin) that will do the job for me (and I guess for quite some other brazilian users). I just need some insight on the auth part.

I will have a look on Sirius auth mechanism.

Voinage,

I will not let this beat me !

Had a look on Sirius, and they cleverly parse the HTML-based login page to get what they need (even across an image confirmation, making it difficult).

Globo is using embedded Javascript

I had to resort to watching my HTTP traffic and look what I have found with HTTPDebugger:

Now I have to put all pieces together. Firts setup a cookie using urlencode with something like the code above, then finally get to the final video file links once authenticated.

More to come ...

Any luck with this, trying to figure out how to authenticate rapidshare

[Voinage]

Use wireshark then use urllib2.

cookie=response.info()['Set-cookie']
to get the cookie

then use a header request to send the cookie along with the Auth data.

Don't know if this helps anything, but I have used something like this in one of my plugins that uses cookies.

Code:

urlopen = urllib2.urlopen
cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()
Request = urllib2.Request

if cj != None:
  if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(resDir, 'cookies.lwp')):
    cj.load(os.path.join(resDir, 'cookies.lwp'))
  opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
  urllib2.install_opener(opener)

def openURL(self, url):
  req = Request("http://www.domain.com/index.sl?username="+xbmcplugin.getSetting("username")+"&password="+xbmcplugin.getSetting("password"))
  req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14')
  data=""  
  try:
    cFile = opener.open(req)
    data = cFile.read()
    cFile.close()
  except urllib2.URLError,value:
    print str(value)
    return -1
  return data
