import json
import urllib2
import base64
import getpass

username = raw_input("Username: ")
password = getpass.getpass("Password: ")
base64UsernamePassword = base64.b64encode(username + ":" + password)

request = urllib2.Request("https://<myhttpsurl>/", headers={"Authorization": "Basic " + base64UsernamePassword})
response = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()


I get the following error:
