6 Internet Services
Originally, STML planned to have many tags
which performed operations on common Internet services.
The skunk.org team soon realized, however, that
it was a better approach to use Python's standard
modules for Internet services. If you need to perform
some operation, such as fetching a web page from a server,
or talking to a UseNet newsgroup, or fetching mail
from a POP mail server, write your own wrapper module
for use in SkunkWeb, and make use of Python's fantastic
standard modules, such as httplib and
urllib.
STML gives you only one tag for Internet services:
a tag for sending electronic mail, since that is
a common task performed by web applications.
