Have you considered/tried using httplib?

HTTPConnection.request(method, url[, body[, headers]])

This will send a request to the server using the HTTP request method method and the selector url.

Alternatively, it may be an open file object, in which case the contents of the file is sent; this file object should support fileno() and read() methods. The header Content-Length is automatically set to the correct value. The headers argument should be a mapping of extra HTTP headers to send with the request.
