how to do AJAX http-post (URLEncoded) from jython?

Hi there,

I worked on a script to scrap some information from a web site.
Before, I just used a shell script that called wget with the right
parameters to do a session log-in, retrieve the session cookies, then
afterwards perform the required calls to several .php scripts to
retrieve the info I wanted to a file on disk, which I ten parsed.

BUT the server changed its code, and while the URLs for the PHP
scripts remain the same, what was passed before as HTTP-GET requests
is now handled via POST URLencoded AJAX requests, and the server is
refusing http get requests so  my scripts work no more.

Q: what would be the easiest way to redo my scripts in Jython,
particularly, is there any built-in code to deal with ajax POST
requests, and urlencode? or any third party Java library that is known
to work well from Jython?

Thanks in advance.
