Nothing obviously wrong there.

What happens when you run the code?  Traceback, unexpected HTTP
response, ...?  Hard to guess without this kind of information.

The problem is often obvious if you just use a sniffer to look at the
HTTP headers getting sent by your browser and by your program, and
compare the two.  Use Ethereal, for example (if you have an https: URL
so can't use a sniffer, try the livehttpheaders plugin for Mozilla, or
a proxy like proxomitron).
