Hi,

You need httplib to send a http-request to the server.

On the server you need some http-server. You could use
CGIHTTPServer of the standard library. 

You need a cgi-script which parses the request with e.g. 
the library xml.sax. This script returns a string
which will be send to the client.

You should be able to solve by only using modules
from the standard library.

Happy Programming,

 Thomas
