1.1.1 Http Objects
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|

Http objects have the following methods:

<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">

|
|
<dd>
|
|
Performs a single HTTP request.
|
|
The <var>uri</var> is the URI of the HTTP resource and can begin with either <code>http</code> or <code>https</code>. The value of <var>uri</var> must be an absolute URI.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <var>method</var> is the HTTP method to perform, such as <code>GET</code>, <code>POST</code>, <code>DELETE</code>, etc. There is no restriction
|
|
on the methods allowed.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <var>body</var> is the entity body to be sent with the request. It is a string
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Any extra headers that are to be sent with the request should be provided in the
|
|
<var>headers</var> dictionary.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The maximum number of redirect to follow before raising an exception is <var>redirections</var>. The default is 5.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <var>connection_type</var> is the type of connection object to use. The supplied class
|
|
should implement the interface of httplib.HTTPConnection.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The return value is a tuple of (response, content), the first being and instance of the
|
|
<tt class="class">Response</tt> class, the second being a string that contains the response entity body.
|
|

|
|
<dd>
|
|
Adds a name and password that will be used when a request
|
|
requires authentication. Supplying the optional <var>domain</var> name will
|
|
restrict these credentials to only be sent to the specified
|
|
domain. If <var>domain</var> is not specified then the given credentials will
|
|
be used to try to satisfy every HTTP 401 challenge.

<dd>
|

Add a <var>key</var> and <var>cert</var> that will be used for an SSL connection
|

to the specified domain. <var>keyfile</var> is the name of a PEM formatted
|
|
file that contains your private key. <var>certfile</var> is a PEM formatted certificate chain file.

If <code>True</code>, which is the default, safe redirects are followed, where
|
|
safe means that the client is only doing a <code>GET</code> or <code>HEAD</code> on the
|
|
URI to which it is being redirected. If <code>False</code> then no redirects are followed.
|
|
Note that a False 'follow_redirects' takes precedence over a True 'follow_all_redirects'.
|
|
Another way of saying that is for 'follow_all_redirects' to have any affect, 'follow_redirects'
|
|
must be True.

If <code>True</code>, which is the default, then no <tt class="module">httplib2</tt> exceptions will be thrown. Instead,

those error conditions will be turned into <tt class="class">Response</tt> objects

Defaults to <code>False</code>. If <code>True</code>, then any etags present in the cached response
|
|
are ignored when processing the current request, i.e. httplib2 does <strong>not</strong> use
|
|
'if-match' for PUT or 'if-none-match' when GET or HEAD requests are made. This
|
|
is mainly to deal with broken servers which supply an etag, but change it capriciously.
