So the question is, how do I get a wav file to a website like the one

Can you be a bit more explicit?
You can send the file to a url using http or ftp.
That will create a copy of the file on the remote server
but I get the feeling that's not what you mean?
I've looked at and played around with urllib, I get how it works, I'm
pretty comfy with it, but it seems to be for sending text only?
It speaks http, and http is a text based protocol, like most internet
protocols. But urllib is normally used for reading from a url not
writing files to it. (Although it might support that too, but I've never
used it for that...)
I can use rec in the terminal (command line) to record speech into
a wav file, I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to make it start and
stop recording as desired, ...
Creating a wav file is completely different to sending it to a remote
server.
... but sending the wav file to the
url and retrieving the text for further processing has me a bit baffled.
But this bit I don't understand? Do you mean sending the file itself?
Or are you trying to play the recorded sound over the network to a url?
If the latter how do you imagine the server will respond?What text do
you expect back?
I'm confused.
