#headers =

opener = urllib2.build_opener()
import urllib
#v = {'request':entry}
#entry = urllib.urlencode(v)
r = 
urllib2.Request('http://electronlibre.projectpath.com/time/save_entry', 
data=entry)
#r = urllib2.Request('http://127.0.0.1:8000/test/', data=entry)
r.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/xml')
r.add_header('Accept', 'application/xml')
#r.add_header('Content-length', len(entry)+2)
r.add_header('Authorization', 'Basic %s' % base64string)
try:
    print opener.open(r).read()
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
    print e
    print "Request failure"

--------------------

The python fail because the data entry become amputed of these two last 
characters. If I had two space at the end of the entry string, It 
worked...

Can you reproduce it?

Sorry, this project is 'httplib2' not 'urllib2'. Urllib2 is part of the Python
standard library and you will have to file a bug there.
