Hey fellow programmers. I am trying to write a program in python that monitors my subscription feed and sends me a text when it changes but I need to log on to view it. I have google'd around and every solution I have come across doesn't seem to work with OCN so if anyone could give me any insight or advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have so far (still a work in progress):
Code:
The code above works perfectly with pages that you don't need to be logged on to view so I only need help passing login credentials to OCN from python. Here is a bit of code that I found and tried but it didn't work. I don't have much experience at all with urllib and frankly most networking practices within python so I'm stuck on where to go from here.
Code:
Thanks for any and all advice!
