<p>Authenticated? Sure. To update your status on Identi.ca, you need to prove who you are. Identi.ca is not a wiki; only you can update your own status. Identi.ca uses <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication><abbr>HTTP</abbr> Basic Authentication</a> (<i>a.k.a.</i> <a href=http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt>RFC 2617</a>) over <abbr>SSL</abbr> to provide secure but easy-to-use authentication. <code>httplib2</code> supports both <abbr>SSL</abbr> and <abbr>HTTP</abbr> Basic Authentication, so this part is easy.
<p>A <code>POST</code> request is different from a <code>GET</code> request, because it includes a <i>payload</i>. The payload is the data you want to send to the server. The once piece of data that this <abbr>API</abbr> method requires is <code>status</code>, and it should be <i><abbr>URL</abbr>-encoded</i>. This is a very simple serialization format that takes a set of key-value pairs (<i>i.e.</i> a <a href=native-datatypes.html#dictionaries>dictionary</a>) and transforms it into a string.
