Use python mechanics to enter NTLM authentication pages

Question

I want to use mechanization to enter the page and get some information. But nonetheless, I'm trying to authenticate. It just fails with the HTTP error code 401 , as you can see below:

r = br.open('http://intra')
File "bui...e\_mechanize.py", line 203, in open
File "bui...g\mechanize\_mechanize.py", line 255,
in _mech_openmechanize._response.httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

This is my code:

import mechanize
import cookielib

# Browser
br = mechanize.Browser()

# Cookie Jar
cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()
br.set_cookiejar(cj)

# Browser options
br.set_handle_equiv(True)
# br.set_handle_gzip(True)
br.set_handle_redirect(True)
br.set_handle_referer(True)
br.set_handle_robots(False)

# Follows refresh 0 but not hangs on refresh > 0
br.set_handle_refresh(mechanize._http.HTTPRefreshProcessor(), max_time=1)

# If the protected site didn't receive the authentication data you would
# end up with a 410 error in your face
br.add_password('http://intra', 'myusername', 'mypassword')

# User-Agent (this is cheating, ok?)
br.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071615 Fedora/3.0.1-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.1')]
# Open some site, let pick a random one, the first that pops in mind:
# r = br.open('http://google.com')
r = br.open('http://intra')
html = r.read()

# Show the source
print html

What am I doing wrong? visit http://intra(internal page), for example. chrome, it opens windows and asks for username / password once, and then everything is fine.

The dialog that pops up looks like this:

After a ton of reaserch, I managed to figure out the reason for this.

NTLM, . :

wget -O /dev/null -S http://www.the-site.com/

, :

import sys
import urllib2
import mechanize
from ntlm import HTTPNtlmAuthHandler

print("LOGIN...")
user = sys.argv[1]
password = sys.argv[2]
url = sys.argv[3]

passman = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
passman.add_password(None, url, user, password)
# create the NTLM authentication handler
auth_NTLM = HTTPNtlmAuthHandler.HTTPNtlmAuthHandler(passman)

browser = mechanize.Browser()
handlersToKeep = []

for handler in browser.handlers:
    if not isinstance(handler,
    (mechanize._http.HTTPRobotRulesProcessor)):
        handlersToKeep.append(handler)

browser.handlers = handlersToKeep
browser.add_handler(auth_NTLM)

response = browser.open(url)
response = browser.open("http://www.the-site.com")
print(response.read())
