Send HTTP Request with python

Before I wrote python http client with python socket in this article, but this is not a socket version, using httplib.

GET

connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection(host)
connection.request("GET", uri)
response = json.loads(connection.getresponse().read())
print response

POST

requestHeader = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}
connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection(host)
connection.request("POST", uri, parameters, requestHeader)
response = json.loads(connection.getresponse().read())
print response

POST requires content-type indicating as what kind of data I'm going to post. application/x-www-form-urlencoded is the most basic one. If uploading JSON data, requestHeader should be like below.

requestHeader = {"Content-type":"application/json"}
