Decompressing an XML in python from an API request -


i trying use api https://neweden-dev.com/zkillboard_api in python.

my code works point:

import xml.etree.elementtree et import urllib2 import gzip import zlib   url = 'https://zkillboard.com/api/kills/characterid/95089021/xml/' request = urllib2.request(url) request.add_header('accept-encoding', 'gzip,deflate')  data = urllib2.urlopen(request)

after point, confused.

contents = data.read() f = open("export.xml","w") f.write(contents) f.close()

above first step. opening file made me realize compressed (duh).

so point tried 2 things:

f = open("test.xml.gz", "w") f.write(data.read()) f.close() g = gzip.open("test.xml.gz", "rb") file_content = g.read() g.close()

which gives me error:

traceback (most recent call last):   file "c:\users\[filepath]", line 19, in <module>     file_content = g.read()   file "c:\python27\lib\gzip.py", line 254, in read     self._read(readsize)   file "c:\python27\lib\gzip.py", line 312, in _read     uncompress = self.decompress.decompress(buf) error: error -3 while decompressing: invalid distance far

my next step use zlib:

x = zlib.decompress(data.read())

which gives me error of:

traceback (most recent call last):   file "c:\users\[filepath]", line 15, in <module>     x = zlib.decompress(data.read()) error: error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

i know missing super simple here, thoughts? thanks.

javascript - Complete OpenIDConnect auth when requesting via Ajax -

the normal openidconnect server works like: you go a.com/secure-resource you 302 server your browser handles , sends identity server you login there it sends a.com via post you logged in on a.com , a.com/secure-resource on browser. however have scenario i'm trying solve need help. the user logged in on idserver the user logged in on a.com the user not logged in on b.com we need send ajax call web server b.com (from domain a.com ) b.com configured use openidconnect. but because request b.com via ajax, user cannot redirected idserver. (all in response 302 ) we can go ahead , handle 302 via ajax (i'm still not sure whether work, security-wise). but is there scenario in identityserver/openidconnect designed these situations? with identityserver in scenario setup server b.com use bearer token authentication, need use access token provided a.com in headers of ajax call $.ajax({ url: 'http://b.com', headers: { ...
