I'm not sure it will work for you, but take a look at httplib...

Something like:

conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(server, port)
conn.request("POST", path, post_data, {'content-type':'text/plain'})
resp = conn.getresponse()
conn.close()

...may work for you.  Mind you, I've never tried doing posts with this, so I
don't know. Maybe it'll try to set content-type itself. Also, you may need to
set additional headers.

good luck,
Jason
