Hi,
I am trying to post to a form using httplib or urllib. I have done this
successfully before with httplib, but when the enctype must be
multipart/form-data, things go awry.
I tried using a header {'Content-Type' : 'multipart/form-data', ...}
that I encode with urlencode and then pass to the HTTPConnection.request
method, but the server is returning a code indicating a bad request. I
have done a lot of troubleshooting on this and the encoding type is the
only remaining issue.
Can anyone shed some light on how to accomplish a POST of this type?
Thanks,
Kevin
