Thanks for the help, I just didn't like the way that SGMLlib forces one to instantiate a class to do this (or httplib for that matter). I looked at those links you graciously sent (thanks!) but didn't like them. At any rate, I went ahead and wrote my own. Thank goodness that it's easy to parse with Python on your own!
