Indeed Massimo, that is the file. Some comments:
- I am forcing Content-Type to 'application/json-rpc' in WebClient.post - The data must be already json encoded - The opener.addheaders is still used, but since I am using a urllib2.Request (to *really* force the Content-Type, which can not be done with addheaders, as you can see in the previously linked StackOverflow question), I would say the headers set with addheaders are not really active. - That means self.detault_headers are probably not used - for jsonrpc post I have disabled form processing - and last but not least, my changes are based on 2.0.2. I assume no big changes have been done for the WebClient since then, but I have not verified. I am not sure what are the implicactions of all these changes. Maybe some corrections are in order.
