Cannot get POST to work

[tedpottel]

Hi,
I'm trying to post data to a short test script in php I wrote.
The python code to do the post is
import httplib

#server address
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("localhost")

#file location
conn.request("POST", "/programming/bots/test.php","&ted=fred")
r1 = conn.getresponse()
print r1.status, r1.reason
data1 = r1.read()
print data1
conn.close()
print "new ok"

The PHP script is
print"hello <br>";
print $_POST["ted"];

I can't speak to what is wrong with your current script - instead I
would recommend the higher level urllib libraries:

(Untested)
import urllib2, urllib

response = urllib2.open("http://localhost/programming/bots/test.php",
urllib.urlencode({"ted": "fred"}))
print response.read()
response.close()
