I've quickly read about PyCurl, but it only seems to allow HTTP HEAD, GET, POST and PUT methods - though please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like to use httpLib in Python as I also need the DELETE method and the possibility of adding some extra headers and extra methods (I'm working on something like this : http://sw.nokia.com/uriqa/URIQA.html that allows MGET, MPUT, MPOST, etc.). I've done some more testing and still can't work out why Python operates differently to other http clients... any ideas? Thanks, Michael. <snip> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
