Its just http, I am using pylons. Right now I am doing tht with extra parameter. But even if I get to know about the platform of the client machine, I need to use the other properties of the corresponding machine's os module. for example I need to use "os.path". So even if I know about the platform name how to use that information to get os module with the property of tht particular platform.
