How to resolve a 401 error, when the credentials work fine in a browser
#3
Hi, thanks for the tips. Your version helped me to notice some structural & syntactic errors in the code. For example,

request = requests.get(url,timeout=30, verify = False, auth = HTTPDigestAuth( id, pw ))


should be

response = requests.get(url,timeout=30, verify = False, auth = HTTPDigestAuth( id, pw ))
Am I correct in stating that your

response = requests.get(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth('user', 'pass')
should be

response = requests.get(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(id, pw)
?

Fixing this removed some false positives.

At any rate, I'm stilling getting a 401 from both the Authentications.

If there's anything else I can try, please let know, thanks.

Hi,

It's because the call requires a wait time of at least 15 seconds or so. Which parameter tells the requests to wait for a 200 response?
