[ome-devel] webgateway authentication

[Damir Sudar]

Hi Manuel,

Roger Noble from Zegami put together a small python program to connect to an OMERO server via the webgateway and retrieve data and visualizations. Originally that was developed for public repositories such as IDR, but I submitted some code to enable it to work with non public servers with full authentication which is now integrated into that package. I used the python requests package to handle opening and closing the session. See: 
https://github.com/zegami/omero-idr-fetch

Cheers,
Damir
