[Twisted-Python] twisted.web.client POST data

[Vasil Vangelovski]

Problem was I was missing the content type header. The content length
value is calculated somewhere in twisted.web.client
I just put in there the same content type firefox sends when posting a
form. Now it works.


getPage(url,method='POST',postdata=urllib.urlencode({'check_data':check_data}),headers={'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'})

Thanks for the suggestions.
