Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Kent Johnson (kjohnson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Omission in docs for urllib2.urlopen() Initial Comment: The docs for urllib2.urlopen() don't explicitly say that if the data parameter is provided then it will do a POST. I suggest replacing the second paragraph (beginning with "data should be a string") with this text: In HTTP requests, the optional data argument may be given to specify a POST request (normally the request type is GET). The data argument must be in standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded format, for example one returned from urllib.urlencode().
