hello again:
i am trying to run scripts on an http server (iis) which produces pickled
objects to be returned.  everything is okay (the scripts run and when the
pickles are viewed in a browser they look like pickles in text files),
except i am unable to figure out how to unpickle them once gotten.

here is the cgi script ...

------------------------------------
import pickle
def test():
    x = {}
    x['name'] = 'doug'
    x['id'] = '123456789'
    a = pickle.dumps(x)
    return a
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"
print
print str(test())
------------------------------------

and a client ...

------------------------------------
import httplib
import pickle
h = httplib.HTTP('server')
h.putrequest('GET', '/path/to/script.cgi')
h.putheader('Accept', 'text/plain')
h.endheaders()
a,b,c=h.getreply()
f = h.getfile()
x = pickle.loads(f.read())
print x['name']
------------------------------------

can anyone help me to do this?
thanks,
doug
