How to send a POST request?

[kj]

Hi.  Sorry for this very clueless question, but how does one write
in Python an HTTP client that can send a POST request?  The modules
I've found (e.g. urllib, urllib2), as far as I can tell, seem to
be limited to GET requests.  (I could be wrong though; please
correct me if this is so.)

TIA!
