[Tutor] POST request using httplib2

Thu Jun 30 06:29:54 CEST 2011

On the way of learning " handling POST request in php" i tried to make a
simple python http client using httplib2 & urllib module.. what i wanted to
do was submitting username & password field to a php script (which just
echo's the username & password)  & prints the response in python,not in
html/php..

import httplib2
import urllib
url="http://localhost/form_process.php"
body={'username':'xyz','password':'abc'}
h=httplib2.Http()
response,content=h.request(url,'POST',urllib.urlencode(body))
print content

I got the following content:

*<html>
<head><title>Form processing</title></head>
<body>
: </body>
</html>*

instead of:

*<html>
<head><title>Form processing</title></head>
<body>
xyz: abc</body>
</html>*

attachments:
form.php # takes username,password from the user,pass those to
              # form_process.php as GET parameter
form_process.php # echo username,password.

sorry for my long email.
