Are there any equivalents in objective-c to the following python urllib2 functions?
Request, urlopen, HTTPError, HTTPCookieProRequest, urlopen, HTTPError, HTTPCookieProcessor
Also, how would I able to to this and change the method from "get" to "post"?
NSMutableHTTPURLRequest, a category of NSMutableURLRequest, is how you set up an HTTP request.  Using that class you will specify a method (GET or POST), headers and a url.
NSURLConnection is how you open the connection.  You will pass in a request and delegate, and the delegate will receive data, errors and messages related to the connection as they become available.
NSHTTPCookieStorage is how you manage existing cookies.  There are a number of related classes in the NSHTTPCookie family.
With urlopen, you open a connection and read from it.  There is no direct equivalent to that unless you use something lower level like CFReadStreamCreateForHTTPRequest.  In Objective-C everything is passive, where you are notified when events occur on the stream.
Is there an Objective-C equivalent to Python urllib and urllib2?
