urllib2

[hack]

This stuff is killing me. LOL I think I just don't understand the
urllib2 yet.

I'm trying something very simple, but am having a terrible time
figuring out how to get it to work in python and django. All I want
to do is post to my site with params. Here is what I have:

def test(request):
test = " NOTHING "
if request.method=='POST':
test = request.POST.get('test',None)
print 'data posted'
print 'test param: ',test

return HttpResponse("Text only, please."+str(test),
content_type="text/plain")

Here is how I'm trying to call it via IDLE:

>>> parms = urllib.urlencode([('test','testing'),('test2','testing2')])
>>> print parms
test=testing&test2=testing2

>>> response = urllib2.urlopen('http://my.ip.address:8080/myapp/test/',parms)

Heres the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/urllib2.py", line 124, in urlopen
return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/urllib2.py", line 389, in open
response = meth(req, response)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/urllib2.py", line 502, in http_response
'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/urllib2.py", line 427, in error
return self._call_chain(*args)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/urllib2.py", line 361, in _call_chain
result = func(*args)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/urllib2.py", line 510, in http_error_default
raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: FORBIDDEN

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That response indicates you do not have permission to access that resource on that server. Are you sure you are hitting the correct URL?

You may want to look into requests, it is a nicer interface for interacting with http servers.

Hmmm, perhaps this might help: @csrf_exempt

Yes, I added @csrf_exempt and not I get a 500 error instead.  I'm not sure what the deal is.

Are you using the development server? If so, how about sticking a
pdb.set_trace() at line 510 of
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py
to see what you're really getting?

Also, quick sort-of side-note:

I recommend checking out the python-requests library as an alternative
to urllib2

http://docs.python-requests.org

Can you check if development mode, check csrf ?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
