1.1.4 Examples
</h2>
<p>
To do a simple <code>GET</code> request just supply the absolute URI
of the resource:
<p>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
import httplib2
h = httplib2.Http()
resp, content = h.request("http://bitworking.org/")
assert resp.status == 200
assert resp['content-type'] == 'text/html'
</pre></div>
<p>
Here is more complex example that does a PUT
of some text to a resource that requires authentication.
The Http instance also uses a file cache
in the directory <code>.cache</code>.
<p>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
import httplib2
h = httplib2.Http(".cache")
h.add_credentials('name', 'password')
resp, content = h.request("https://example.org/chap/2",
"PUT", body="This is text",
headers={'content-type':'text/plain'} )
</pre></div>
<p>
Here is an example that connects to a server that
supports the Atom Publishing Protocol.
<p>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
import httplib2
h = httplib2.Http()
h.add_credentials(myname, mypasswd)
h.follow_all_redirects = True
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/atom+xml'}
body = """&lt;?xml version="1.0" ?&gt;
&lt;entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;id&gt;urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a&lt;/id&gt;
&lt;updated&gt;2003-12-13T18:30:02Z&lt;/updated&gt;
&lt;author&gt;&lt;name&gt;John Doe&lt;/name&gt;&lt;/author&gt;
&lt;content&gt;Some text.&lt;/content&gt;
&lt;/entry&gt;
"""
uri = "http://www.example.com/collection/"
resp, content = h.request(uri, "POST", body=body, headers=headers)
</pre></div>
<p>
Here is an example of providing data to an HTML form processor.
In this case we presume this is a POST form. We need to take our
data and format it as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" data and use that as a
body for a POST request.
<p>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
&gt;&gt;&gt; import httplib2
&gt;&gt;&gt; import urllib
&gt;&gt;&gt; data = {'name': 'fred', 'address': '123 shady lane'}
&gt;&gt;&gt; body = urllib.urlencode(data)
&gt;&gt;&gt; body
'name=fred&amp;address=123+shady+lane'
&gt;&gt;&gt; h = httplib2.Http()
&gt;&gt;&gt; resp, content = h.request("http://example.com", method="POST", body=body)
</pre></div>
<p>
Here is an example of using a proxy server:
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
import httplib2
import socks
httplib2.debuglevel=4
h = httplib2.Http(proxy_info = httplib2.ProxyInfo(socks.PROXY_TYPE_HTTP, 'localhost', 8000))
r,c = h.request("http://bitworking.org/news/")
