This is a great answer, it's strangely hard to search for this solution as well.

Shouldn't be implemented as part of the request module?

It does use the requests module. How would you go about implementing it as part of the module? or how do you mean @user1602 ?

Excellent answer! If I may ask, knowing this way long time ago you posted this. Can you/someone explain the line: res.text.lower().find(self.loginTestString.lower()) < 0 ? Doesnt that mean that it looks for a string and returns 0 if it doesnt find a match?

the find method of a string returns -1 if the search string was not found in it (i.e. here: looking for self.loginTestString.lower() within res.text.lower())
