[Zope] sending form data offsite

[Ed Colmar]

Hi AM and zope cru!

Here is the quick external method I built to do this...

If anyone is familiar with urllib and can tell me if I need to do
something different I'd appreciate it!

def formsender(self, completeurl):
    """ This method is used to transparently send form data to an external
    server

    completeurl is the entire url including form field values."""
    import urllib
    result = urllib.URLopener().open(completeurl)
    urllib.URLopener().close()
