Well, the Right Thing to do is clearly to have your library do a proper
POST that spyce could process normally.  (And this isn't hard to do with
the python urllib/urllib2 modules, either.)

But if you really want to kludge it like this, import the request module
and read from the file-like object returned by
request._api.getRequest().
