How to send multiple post requests in same connection using python requests

Question

In order to automate user registration in my website, I am using

>>> r = requests.post('http://www.dakshnetworks.com:8888/accounts/signup/', data=payload)

That is working well. but once the user is registered, i am directing him to another page where he has to set his workplace. So i tried to use

 o= requests.post('http://www.dakshnetworks.com:8888/set/', data=payload2)

but that is not able to set the workplace of the user returning error 500

[01/Jun/2015 17:11:07] "POST /accounts/signup/ HTTP/1.1" 302 0
[01/Jun/2015 17:11:07] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 302 0
[01/Jun/2015 17:11:07] "GET /set/ HTTP/1.1" 200 26351
[01/Jun/2015 17:14:40] "POST /set HTTP/1.1" 500 75469
[01/Jun/2015 17:16:16] "POST /set/ HTTP/1.1" 500 126509

So how do i maintain the connection so that the server may know that the requests are coming from the same user.

Use a Session() object to maintain cookies, so that the server knows it is still the same user:

session = requests.Session()
r = session.post('http://www.dakshnetworks.com:8888/accounts/signup/', data=payload)
o = session.post('http://www.dakshnetworks.com:8888/set/', data=payload2)

now i realize that the second request should be an ajax request. how should i do that

Martijn Pieters Over a year ago

@Rohit: AJAX is just another request. There isn't much of a difference to the server there.

even though I am using session, it is redirecting me to login page when using any method where login is required >>> session = requests.session() >>> e= session.get('dakshnetworks.com:8888/accounts/login', auth=('48948' , 'password')) >>> i = session.get('dakshnetworks.com:8888/user/set_interests')

That's using Basic Auth, are you sure the site doesn't use a login form?

If Basic Auth works, use that username and password for every request or use session.auth = ('48948', 'password') to make the session send it every time.
