Hello all,
you've probably seen the emails about the NASA CPF server changing to https. I now adapted our python script in order to download the CPFs from that new server. I used the requests package rather than curl as I suggested by CDDIS examples. It's a bit tricky since they decided to use a login system which is not very suitable for automated download. Anyway, it works now. I post the code here for your convenience.
A few notes to the code. It's made to work with python3 and the python requests package installed. You need to obtain Earth Data login credentials first and then insert them here in the code (line ~37 / 38). The code will download the V1 CPFs, if you want the new ones, you have to change the target folder. Please note that the script will delete all existing files in the local target folder. If you use the function in a graphical interface, your callback function can update a progress bar etc. If it returns "false", the downloads will be cancelled. The function will return the number of downloaded CPFs.
The script is not entirely by me, it also uses code I found on the Earth Data site.
Comments and cheers welcome, as always.
Daniel
