[issue1673007] urllib2 requests history + HEAD support

[David Stanek]

David Stanek <dstanek at dstanek.com> added the comment:

I have attached a patch to add support for HEAD, PUT and DELETE methods. The code review is available here: http://codereview.appspot.com/1696061.

I have started working on another patch that validates that the method is properly set. For instance, it doesn't make sense to have a HEAD or DELETE with post data. The problem is that the interface is so wide open that it is hard to catch all possible user errors. A user could call Request.__init__ correctly, but then set req.method to an invalid method. If there is some interest I'll finish up the patch.
