Hi,
I'm recently write a small program to trade bitcoin in MtGox, but I met a wierd problem when using Python to communicate with MtGox API.
The code is from post "Python MtGox auth example", however, I'm always get the not logon error like below:
Code:
{u'error': u'Must be logged in'}

The code is like below:
Code:
from urllib import urlencode
import urllib2
import time
from hashlib import sha512
from hmac import HMAC
import base64
import json
def get_nonce():
    return int(time.time()*100000)

def sign_data(secret, data):
    return base64.b64encode(str(HMAC(secret, data, sha512).digest()))
      
class requester:
    def __init__(self, auth_key, auth_secret):
        self.auth_key = auth_key
        self.auth_secret = base64.b64decode(auth_secret)
        
    def build_query(self, req={}):
        req["nonce"] = get_nonce()
        post_data = urlencode(req)
        headers = {}
        headers["User-Agent"] = "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)"
        headers["Accept"] = "application/json"
        headers["Rest-Key"] = self.auth_key
        headers["Rest-Sign"] = sign_data(self.auth_secret, post_data)
        return (post_data, headers)
        
    def perform(self, path, args):
        data, headers = self.build_query(args)
        req = urllib2.Request("https://mtgox.com/api/0/"+path, data, headers)
        res = urllib2.urlopen(req, data)
        return json.load(res)


m = requester(auth_key=mykey, auth_secret = mysecret)
print m.perform("info.php", {})

The wired thing is, when I using the C# code to communicate, it all works well.
I checked the http headers and found there're a little difference:

.NET header

The only difference is that:

I guess it may related with the connection type, but I'm new to Python and have no idea how to control it...
(why there're dozens of http lib exist in Python Smiley

Any help is appreciate!
