This has got me somewhat stumped, so I'll throw it up here in hopes that someone has ran into this before. I'm trying to send a MIME package to Esko Backstage. I'm a bit confused as to how to send this to the server in a manner that it'll be able to get and de-code the MIME package in a valid way.
The big question is does this entire mime package belong in the headers section of an HTTP request? If not, what is the best Pythonic way to send this thing. I'm using 2.5's email package to create the package and was trying to use its as_string() method to pump this through httplib, but I'm getting a very vague server error message that seems to indicate a malformed package. Here is the broken code: hcon = httplib.HTTPConnection(JMF_GATEWAY) hcon.putrequest('POST', JMF_GATEWAY_PATH) hcon.endheaders() hcon.send(msg.as_string()) I've pasted the string representation of the MIME package I'm trying to send below. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
