help with interactive http tasks

I wonder if anyone can give me some guidance wth the interactive tasks. I am trying my best to follow the notes but always get some error or other. this is task 176 say-100

Is it my syntax or is there a problem with the server?

examples

import httplib
data = "token: 76MuCrCXzXg/0plqn3MFITE1"        #token recently taken from task test data
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("codeabbey.sourceforge.net")
conn.request("POST", "/say-100.php", data)

response = conn.getresponse()
print str(response.status) + " " + response.reason
404 Not Found

Maybe I need a leading '\' in the URL???

conn.request("POST", "\/say-100.php", data)
print str(response.status) + " " + response.reason
200 

look promising,but....

print response.read()
<center><h1>400 Bad Request</h1></center>

I understood that I just need to send the token for first message and I geta number 1-99 in return

any guidance would be most welcome

Ah I see. So my syntax was wrong AND the server has a problem. Not a good recipe for successful coding.

thanks for the help quandray
