[socal-piggies] Additional impetus for pwc

[jathan.]

One thing to note about the current rev of PWC is that it is using urllib,
which leaves something to be desired in the way of tinkering.  I have some
notes from my branch that I added to the wiki, about replacing the usage of
urllib with pycurl to make it easier to get all of the nitty gritty request
path details.  Just visit the wiki[1] and scroll down to "Using Py-cURL for
URL fetching".
