I have Python 2.7.9 running on a linux box. Now I need to sending http post request with body and headers. However, due to some restrictions, I cannot use pip to install some third party modules, and I cannot use Python to execute &quot;curl&quot; command either. Can I achieve this with Python out of the box?

Python sending http post request with body without installing any extra modules

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. Hypertext is structured text that uses logical links (hyperlinks) between nodes containing text. HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer hypertext. HTTP functions as a request-response protocol in the client-server computing model. HTTP is designed to permit intermediate network elements to improve or enable communications between clients and servers. HTTP is an application layer protocol designed within the framework of the Internet Protocol Suite; it presumes an underlying and reliable transport layer protocol.
