Cookies with httplib
<p>I needed to do a simple http get in the other day, the only catch was that I had to send a cookie. My first thoughts were that this might be tricky, but in practise it's a doddle. Below is a simplistic example passing a cookie (called "Fish", with a value of "Cod") using Python's <a href="http://docs.python.org/lib/module-httplib.html">httplib</a>.</p>
<pre>
import httplib
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection( "www.example.com" )
Headers = {"Cookie" : "Fish=Cod"}
conn.request("GET", "/fishfinder.html", None, Headers )
response = conn.getresponse()
data = response.read()

should help with the learning curve of the new player" stated Four2Eight CEO John DeBoer. Content of the site focuses on the teaching the fundamentals of Texas Holdem to new players. The site includes sections on hand rankings, position, general rules, betting techniques, strategy, and a recommended reading guide. All of these sections are designed to build a base knowledge of Texas Holdem. Coming addition to the site include a "How I got Started" section that will explore how some of the best "got their wet" in the game. Also on the horizon is a "Question & Answer" section that will allow users to send hand histories in for analysis.Four2Eight will be continuing the development of the new site in the coming months and expects to have the site fully completed by late spring 2005..
