Estoy tratando de encontrar cómo puedo usar la autenticación básica usando urllib2 en python para obtener el problema CLAVELa API REST de JIRA describe los URI disponibles

Gracias por las sugerencias, lo intentaré, mientras tanto, solo quería actualizar esto con mi propio esfuerzo: Aquí está el código de muestra de Python que probé:

import urllib2, sys, re, base64
from urlparse import urlparse
theurl = 'http://my.rest-server.com:8080/rest/api/latest/AA-120'            # if you want to run this example you'll need to supply a protected page with y
our username and password
username = 'username'
password = 'password'            # a very bad password

req = urllib2.Request(theurl)
print req
try:
    handle = urllib2.urlopen(req)
    print handle
except IOError, e:                  # here we are assuming we fail
    pass
else:                               # If we don't fail then the page isn't protected
    print "This page isn't protected by authentication."
    sys.exit(1)
if not hasattr(e, 'code') or e.code != 401:                 # we got an error - but not a 401 error
    print "This page isn't protected by authentication."
    print 'But we failed for another reason.'
    sys.exit(1)

authline = e.headers.get('www-authenticate', '')                # this gets the www-authenticat line from the headers - which has the authentication
 scheme and realm in it
if not authline:
    print 'A 401 error without an authentication response header - very weird.'
    sys.exit(1)
authobj = re.compile(r'''(?:\s*www-authenticate\s*:)?\s*(\w*)\s+realm=['"](\w+)['"]''', re.IGNORECASE)          # this regular expression is used to
 extract scheme and realm
matchobj = authobj.match(authline)
if not matchobj:                                        # if the authline isn't matched by the regular expression then something is wrong
    print 'The authentication line is badly formed.'
    sys.exit(1)
scheme = matchobj.group(1)
print scheme
realm = matchobj.group(2)
print realm
if scheme.lower() != 'basic':
    print 'This example only works with BASIC authentication.'
    sys.exit(1)

base64string = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password))[:-1]
authheader =  "Basic %s" % base64string
req.add_header("Authorization", authheader)
try:
    handle = urllib2.urlopen(req)
except IOError, e:                  # here we shouldn't fail if the username/password is right
    print "It looks like the username or password is wrong."
    sys.exit(1)
thepage = handle.read()
server = urlparse(theurl)[1].lower()            # server names are case insensitive, so we will convert to lower case
test = server.find(':')
if test != -1: server = server[:test]           # remove the :port information if present, we're working on the principle that realm names per serve
r are likely to be unique...

passdict = {(server, realm) : authheader }      # now if we get another 401 we can test for an entry in passdict before having to ask the user for a
 username/password

print 'Done successfully - information now stored in passdict.'
print 'The webpage is stored in thepage.'

--- y obtengo el resultado: esta página no está protegida por autenticación. Pero fallamos por otra razón.

mientras que la página está protegida por autenticación
