Body
With regard to your test script, it is failing because you are passing unicode object to <code>urllib.urlencode()</code> (it is being called for you by <code>urlopen()</code>). It does not support unicode objects, so it implicitly encodes using the default charset, which is <code>ascii</code>. Obviously, it fails. The simplest way to handle POSTing unicode objects is to be explicit; Gather your data and build a dict, encode unicode values with an appropriate charset, urlencode the dict (to get a POSTable ascii string), then initiate the request. Your example could be rewritten as: <pre><code>import urllib import urllib2 ## Build our post data dict data = { 'xdat:user.login' : u'unitest', 'xdat:primary_password' : u'nauihe4r93nf83jshhd83', 'xdat:firstname' : u"abc_\u03a0\u03a3\u03a9", 'xdat:lastname' : u"abc_\u03a0\u03a3\u03a9", } ## Encode the unicode using an appropriate charset data = dict([(key, value.encode('utf8')) for key, value in data.iteritems()]) ## Urlencode it for POSTing data = urllib.urlencode(data) ## Build a POST request, get the response url = "http://localhost:8081/xnat/app/action/XDATRegisterUser" request = urllib2.Request(url, data) response = urllib2.urlopen(request) </code></pre> EDIT: More generally, when you make an http request with python (say <code>urllib2.urlopen</code>), the content of the response is not decoded to unicode for you. That means you need to be aware of the encoding used by the server that sent it. Look at the <code>content-type</code> header; Usually it includes a <code>charset=xyz</code>. It is always prudent to decode your input as early as possible, and encode your output as late as possible.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
