If we use raw HTTP as the transport (and in particular, if we are posting raw data like this example rather than url-form-encoded content that can use the nicer urllib/urllib2), we really need client side libraries to handle all the error conditions and make call sites readable. This is a negative compared to approaches where the client library standard and libraries are available (such as XML-RPC, although IIRC that still leaks HTTP error codes) In fact, I still can't work out how to send a request to this server from Python... -- Stuart Bishop <[email protected]> http://www.stuartbishop.net/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
