using urllib or httplib to post with ENCTYPE=mulitpart/form-data

[Kevin Carlson]

Never mind.  I don't think the ClientCookie is going to help me here. 
As someone had eluded earlier in this thread, the cookie is not coming 
back as a header.  I was looking through the headers and couldn't see a 
Set-Cookie header -- thought I was going crazy.

As it turns out, one of the pages in the frameset contains Javascript 
that creates the cookie. I can parse that for the Cookie and send it 
back in subsequent requests.

Thanks for everyone's help!
