## 11.2.2 Examples

Here is an example session that uses the "`GET`" method to retrieve a URL containing parameters:

      >>> import urllib
      >>> params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
      >>> f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query?%s" % params)
      >>> print f.read()

The following example uses the "`POST`" method instead:

      >>> import urllib
      >>> params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
      >>> f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query", params)
      >>> print f.read()
