I, for one, suggest <http://python-requests.org/> for your sanity. I guess it would be something along the lines of: import requests xml = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> ...""" files = {'file-field-as-requested-by-the-service': xml} requests.post(url, files=files, auth=HTTPDigestAuth('user', 'pass')) Plus http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#ssl-cert-verification and other stuff from there. Httplib may not be wrong, but I’m doing this for your sanity. -- Kwpolska <http://kwpolska.tk> stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html GPG KEY: 5EAAEA16 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
