Status: Closed

Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jitse Niesen (jitseniesen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Replace httplib by urllib2

Initial Comment: This patch changes the mechanism for HTTP POST requests to use urllib2 instead of httplib. I wrote it because I need to connect through a proxy, which httplib does not support (as far as I am aware).

A side-effect of the patch is that authentication is handled more cleanly IMHO. However, I don't know a server requiring authentication, so I couldn't test this.

Another side-effect is that the format of the cookie files stored in login-data/ changes; it now uses .lwp files instead of .txt files. Consequently, all bots need to be logged in afresh.

I tried not to break anything, but it's a change deep in the code, so handle with caution.
