Answer 1

from base64 import b64encode
import mechanize

url = 'http://192.168.3.5/table.js'
username = 'admin'
password = 'password'

# I have had to add a carriage return ('%s:%s\n'), but
# you may not have to.
b64login = b64encode('%s:%s' % (username, password))

br = mechanize.Browser()

# # I needed to change to Mozilla for mine, but most do not
# br.addheaders= [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')]

br.addheaders.append( 
  ('Authorization', 'Basic %s' % b64login )
)

br.open(url)
r = br.response()
data = r.read()

print data

And perhaps didn't try this could also work:

import urllib
 import re
import mechanize

br = mechanize.Browser()
response = br.open("http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@ab/cabs");
print response.geturl()
print response.read(

)
