To both you and Frederik: I do know about www.python.org. I do an extensive amount of googling in general and searching at python.org before I ask questions such as this. I did stumble upon urllib, urllib2 and httplib in the documentation, but let me assure you, as a newbie, that finding this documentation doesn't make one go "ah, this is what I was looking for". Specifically, I can't see from reference documentation whether something even smarter or more highlevel exists. Fuzzyman's link did the trick. It also helped me (after reading his articles) to understand the reference documentation better. /David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
