I am writing a program that has to do some lightweight HTTP communication with a webserver on the internet. I haven't checked, but I'm sure I could do something lowlevel like opening a socket myself and then send/receive everything myself on this (how do I do that?), but I'd bet that Python have some module which is more high level. Something that would just let me connect using an URL, send a few GETs, and receive the answer as a string/file etc.
Does this exist, and where can I read about it? /David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
