Please tell me if this is true or not..
In a all my applications I used the old fashioned way of "POST" requests:
params = urllib.urlencod e({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
headers = {"Content-type": "applicatio n/x-www-form-urlencoded"}
conn = httplib.HTTPCon nection("somelo cation")
conn.request("P OST", "/cgi-bin/query", params, headers)
Now, without thinking.. have to admit.. I always thought that the request object would format
this request into something like: /cgi-bin/query?spam=1&eg gs=2&bacon=0
Until yesterday when I needed a bare bone BaseHTTPServer, creating my own do_POST:
def do_POST(self):
print self.path
there were no spam, bacon and eggs in "self.path" . They are only there when I change conn.request in:
conn.request("P OST", "/cgi-bin/query?spam=1&eg gs=2&bacon=0", params, headers)
Sniffing on the network learned me that my params are in the header, not in the post request and look like: spam=1&eggs=2&b acon.
So, is it indeed true that I misunderstood the formatting?
Thanks,

You're confusing POST with GET:
Sniffing on the network learned me that my params are in the header, not in the post request and look like: spam=1&eggs=2&b acon.
The POST method places its parameters in the header of the request (just
after them, actually). To retrieve them in your do_POST() method, you
have to read them from self.rfile (self.rfile.rea d() should do the
trick).
If you'd rather pass the parameters in the URL, you have to use the GET
method:
params = urllib.urlencod e({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
conn = httplib.HTTPCon nection("somelo cation")
conn.request("G ET", "/cgi-bin/query?" + params)
Then you can retrieve them in the do_GET() method of your server, using
self.path.

You should read just "content-length" bytes because otherwise you
may get stuck waiting forever.

This is bit of an open question and is more of a theoretical one that an

I want to send some data to an external server that will launch a process on

the client browser being aware of the post and the source of the post being
the webserver (used for an IP check).

I need to redirect to a page and HTTP Post data. The
Response.Redirect does not work and the HTTPREQUEST option calls the

The only way I can see to do this is to format a HTML/POST, with
