Doesn't work (was: Re: httplib won't accept URL with parameters (???))

[pythonhda]

If you can upgrade go ahead. If you're running redhat 7.x it uses v1.5 (up2date for example) and you *might* mess up your configuration if you upgrade *but* you can install python v2.x with an executable name "python2" (that's what the v2.2.1 RPMs did for me). 

Now about the HTTP class. I only have it to be backwards compatible with v1.5 (that's what __doc__ string says). There's no mention of it in my library reference. So what *I* would do is upgrade to 2.2.x making sure that it won't screw up my installation and then use the HTTPConnection class becuase that is what is in use now.

You could also take a look at your current documentation to see if you're doing something wrong.

I hope that helps.
