   Any ideas?

   snb@snb:~$ python ./modem.py
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File “./modem.py”, line 18, in
   from poster.encode import multipart_encode
   ImportError: No module named poster.encode

   Thank you! :)

   Thanks for the great article and comment! I also have a question regarding to E3372h. I was trying to get the token via HTTP request, however, why do I always get 100002 from webpage display? If I use curl, I can only get response of ’empty reply from server’. Could any of you help with this issue? Thanks!

     Hi, can you try my curl-based script from https://github.com/jojo-Hub/huaweiHiLink/blob/master/huawei ? For example, call it with
     ./huawei /api/monitoring/status
     It should output the response as XML-tree.

   Hey, thanks for the tool. But it did not work for the E3372h (the ones you get on ebay from Latvia or Russia) since they introduced cookies. Here is a fix for that, using the information from http://pastebin.com/6EzuSN7M. Unfortunately, SignalStrength is not transmitted, but /api/device/signal gives RSRQ, RSRP, RSSI, SINR and RSCP.

   Greetings
