I'm fine with the idea, but...

are you not overlooking another place where http_login + http_password
are used to find out whether uploading should take place? I.e, in:

    if http_login and http_password:
        # Submit results. Yes, Python has some HTTP libraries, but
        # none of the ones that are part of the standard library can
        # upload a file without writing dozens of lines of code.

Probably we want the same test to be used everywhere?
