PUT with proxy-support

[Shashwat Anand]

I want to make a PUT request.
I need some headers of my own ( certificates etc ) and I need to mandatorily
use a proxy.
Also the url is of the form http://www.xyz.com/abc and I don't have
permission to put data
on http://www.xyz.com while I do have permission to put data on
http://www.xyz.com/abc

I tried httplib, httplib2, urllib2 with no avail.
I managed to do this via command line curl:

$ curl http:/xyz.com/testing/shashwat/test.txt -T test.txt -H "sw-version:
1.0" -H
"CA-Cert-Auth:v=1;a=yxyz.prod;h=10.10.0.1;t=1316594650;s=.AeEYJMMfElN74fnWD3GlXJ4J.1KiQFg--"
--proxy proxy.xyz.com:3128 -H "Content-Type:text/plain"

Is there a way to do it in python apart from using command line curl in
python.
The machine is RHEL4 and is giving hard time installing pycurl.
