Re: [Mod-pubsub-developer] kn_from and kn_to

[BC S. <bsi...@in...>]

The Perl PubSub server already supports direct HTTP POST delivery of events
to arbitrary URLs. This feature has not yet been implemented in the Python
PubSub server, but perhaps it will be at some point.

Since the POST data is in appplication/x-www-form-urlencoded format, quite a
few existing CGIs, PHP apps, servlets, and so forth are already prepared to
accept the notifications.
