This PHP code below fetches html from server A to server B. I did this to circumvent the same-domain policy of browsers.

Server-A.com then returns a set of form tags to be echoed in the body tag...

Using urllib2, are we able to use a method other than 'GET' or 'POST' (when data is provided)? I dug into the library and it seems that the decision to use GET or POST is 'conveniently' tied to whether or not data is provided in the request.
