Instead of trying to hijack a session, login using requests with something like:

session = requests.session()
session.post(loginUrl, data={'username':username, 'password':password, ... (anything else the login page posts)}
response = session.get(anyInternalPage)

it works thanks :) ,. But can you tell me what's the problem in my code or in my way ? – dragon Aug 02 '16 at 21:01
Your method is trying to hijack a session, and most servers have code to prevent people from doing that. This is because you could potentially do this in a very malicious way. – Brian Aug 03 '16 at 23:52
