[New-bugs-announce] [issue8150] urllib needs ability to set METHOD for HTTP requests

[aalex]

New submission from aalex <andrewalex at gmail.com>:

urllib.request can not support many standard HTTP 1.1 METHODS including HEAD, PUT, DELETE.

Adding this would be trivial (either as a special header "METHOD") or its own paramater, creating additional use, with little or no drawback.
