Cool. I wasn't aware of this feature using urlencode. (Although I have
been using urllib heavily...)

You can add headers with urllib:
	con = urllib.FancyURLopener()
        con.addheader("Referer", "http://www.python.org")
        f = con.open("http://www.yahoo.com", postdata)
	...
        con.close()
