[Tutor] Modules to work with curl.

[Santosh Kumar]

its a curl command caliing a http function.

for example:

curl <username>:<password> <xml> GET http://<somelink>/app/somefunction

so i have to use this to create a wrapper which can scale better . While i
use the subprocess it taking some time which i feel as bit slow.

so here are the questions again:
1) what are the different ways to run the above statement in a effective
way ?
2) How to improve the performance if any?

Thanks,
santosh

Every task has a unpleasant side .. But you must focus on the end result
