在Python中机械化更改HTTP标头的大小写

Question

I am trying to automate a web page request by using mechanize in python. When I add custom headers like
X-Session= 'abc'
and
X-Auth='123'
by using addheader function.

object=mechanize.Browser()
object.addheaders=[('X-Session','abc'),('X-Auth','123')]

It changes those headers to X-session and X-auth . I believe due to that the server is not able to authenticate me. Can anybody help how to maintain the case? Thanks.

Answer 1

Mechanize expect two items tuple as header, first item is header name, second is value, so you must do:

object.addheaders=[('X-Session','abc'), ('X-Auth','123')]

(Two tuples of two elements instead of one tuple with 4 elements).

To check headers that Mechanize will send with query, you can do:

print(request.header_items())

This should print something like:

[('X-Session','abc'), ('X-Auth','123')]
