libgmail failure

[james.p.news]

Hey all,

I've been using libgmail to send out automated notification emails for
my company's nightly regression testing. Last night these emails
started failing, though the python code has not changed. I updated to
the latest libgmail, but that isn't helping. I've logged in to the
email account directly, and the account is still working fine.

The error I get is "HTTP Error 400: Bad Request" when using
gmailAccount.login(). This doesn't throw an exception, just prints
the error. The code crashes outright when it tries to send mail.

This code has been up and running for several months and just started
failing last night. Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

The code and error follow (fairly short

Thanks much,
James



Code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def send(TO_LIST,SUBJECT,MESSAGE):
GA = libgmail.GmailAccount("(e-mail address removed)","xxxxxxx")
try:
print "Logging in"
GA.login()
except libgmail.GmailLoginFailure:
print "\nLogin failed. (Wrong username/password?)"
else:
print "Log in successful.\n"
for RX in TO_LIST:
MSG = libgmail.GmailComposedMessage(RX,SUBJECT,MESSAGE)
if GA.sendMessage(MSG):
print "Message successfully sent to `%s` ." % RX
else:
print "Could not send message."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Output:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logging in
HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
Log in successful.

Don't know if it's for the same reason since I can't remember if the
error was the same, but some times ago I had a similar problem.
I used libgmail for copying a lot of mails from a google mail box to
another and I've been "black-listed" after a while for flooding.
After that I wasn't neither able to access my account from browser for
a certain amount of time (one or two days).
Try to do same operation 'manually' (by using a browser try to log-in
by using your account, then send a mail) and see if you're able to do
so.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried logging in and sending email
manually and it works just fine.

Thanks though,
James

I met the same problem now, James , do you have resolved this
problem ?

Have you thought about spoofing explorer? Always spoof explorer.

James

I have not heard of this. How do you spoof IE for libgmail?

Thanks,

You might have to edit libgmail.py directly and add a header to the
urllib2.Request() call. Here are the relevant lines from some code I
wrote (spoofing netscape it looks like):

user_agent = 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT)'
txheaders = {'User-agent' : user_agent}
req = urllib2.Request(pda, signin_params, txheaders)

See if this doesn't fix you up.

Well, here's what I tried:

Starting at line 344 of the latest version of libgmail:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#headers = {'Host': 'www.google.com',
# 'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Compatible; libgmail-python)'}
headers = {'Host': 'www.google.com',
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0;
Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.2)'}

req = urllib2.Request(URL_LOGIN, data=data, headers=headers)
-------------------------------------------------------------

I grabbed the header information from IE7's identification at
http://www.alanwood.net/demos/browserinfo.html. I got the same
error. Am I doing it wrong, or is it not working? I'm very, very new
to net protocols and such...

Thanks,
James

I believe I've found a (temporary) fix in this forum thread:
http://www.castlecops.com/p984588-HTTP_Error_400_when_using_gknujon.html

Pasted here for posterity;

---
Edit the libgmail.py file.

In the function

def login(self)


change the following text:
Code:
try:
link = re.search(RE_PAGE_REDIRECT, pageData).group(1)
redirectURL = urllib.unquote(link)


to add the extra line:
Code:
try:
link = re.search(RE_PAGE_REDIRECT, pageData).group(1)
redirectURL = urllib.unquote(link)
redirectURL = redirectURL.replace('\\x26','&')

Thanks! That worked brilliantly.
