Last week I coded a generic "urlopen()" routine, which contains an
http protocol client as a sub-module. It isn't perfect yet (actually
the unquoting that lies at the root of this problem isn't in yet!), but
together with the HTML widget wrapper it makes for a cheap WWW browser
that does 90% of Mosaic's functionality in 100 lines of Python!

Anyone interested in a beta release?
