Solution

  • Having never heard of dwr before, I took a quick look and found the Direct Web Remoting website. Since it looks to require something that understands JavaScript on the client, you cannot use requests alone.

    requests does not do any processing of the contents of the webpage. Since requests does not handle JavaScript for you, you'll need to use something more like selenium (which has bindings in python).

    With something like selenium in the mix, you might need to change your User-Agent header in requests to something that looks like a real browser. Your request would look like:

    r = requests.post(url, data=data, headers={'User-Agent': '<browser user agent>'}

    Where '<browser user agent>' is a string taken from a browser. An example that might work can be 

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0

    or
