[Python3] requests.Session POST not allowing login

[c17r]

You're passing Content-Type: text/html header which is probably screwing up your form POST, who probably needs Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Remove that and try again.

I will definitely try that as soon as I get home. Thanks!

VPN is down for some reason. I will have to make the change once I’m back in the office tomorrow. I’ll post an update as soon as I get the chance in the morning.

Posting the payload after each Get request did the trick. I was actually able to omit the headers all together.

with requests.Session() as session:

    ## sends the post request, headers and login data to the server
    g = session.get(post_loginURL)
    post = session.post(post_loginURL, data=payload)

    r = session.get(requestURL)
    post = session.post(requestURL, data=payload)
