 Wow, cool :)  And like 5 hours from report to solution.  How I love
open source :)

Here's a follow up question.  I applied the patch and it doesn't
raise an exception anymore, but it sits there for about 3 or 4
minutes, then returns an "addinfourl" object that looks like
this:

>>> print f.headers
None
>>> print f.url
http://www.mudprovider.com/cgi-bin/printvars.cgi
>>> print f.read()

>>>

 If I switch it over to a GET request, it works fine, but I
really need POST to work.  Is this another bug or am I doing
something wrong?

 Also, if there's a page that explains all this somewhere, I'll
happily take just a link to it and work this all out by myself :)

 Thanks, Jp
