I am trying to send the data using following code:
...
    opener = urllib2.build_opener()

    opener.addheaders = [

                     ('User-Agent', 'python'),
                     ('Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream'),
                    ]
    data = zlib.compress(data)
    params = urllib.urlencode({'uid': uid, 'reqid': rid, 'data':
data})
    usock = opener.open(url, params)
    resp = usock.read()

    usock.close()
...

regards,
Subeen.
