How can I mimic CGI form submission (METHOD=POST)?
--------------------------------------------------
I would like to retrieve web pages that are the result of POSTing a form. Is
there existing code that would let me do this easily?
Yes. Here's a simple example that uses :mod:`urllib.request`::
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import urllib.request
# build the query string
qs = "First=Josephine&MI=Q&Last=Public"
# connect and send the server a path
req = urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.some-server.out-there'
'/cgi-bin/some-cgi-script', data=qs)
with req:
msg, hdrs = req.read(), req.info()
Note that in general for percent-encoded POST operations, query strings must be
quoted using :func:`urllib.parse.urlencode`. For example, to send
``name=Guy Steele, Jr.``::
>>> import urllib.parse
>>> urllib.parse.urlencode({'name': 'Guy Steele, Jr.'})
'name=Guy+Steele%2C+Jr.'
.. seealso:: :ref:`urllib-howto` for extensive examples.
What module should I use to help with generating HTML?
