|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`httplib` module has been renamed to :mod:`http.client` in Python
|
|
|
|
|
3.0. The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when converting
|
|
|
|
|
your sources to 3.0.

|
|
|
|
|
|
This module defines classes which implement the client side of the HTTP and
|
|
|
|
|
HTTPS protocols. It is normally not used directly --- the module :mod:`urllib`
|
|
|
|
|
uses it to handle URLs that use HTTP and HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HTTPS support is only available if the :mod:`socket` module was compiled with
|
|
|
|
|
SSL support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The public interface for this module changed substantially in Python 2.0. The
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`HTTP` class is retained only for backward compatibility with 1.5.2. It
|
|
|
|
|
should not be used in new code. Refer to the online docstrings for usage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The module provides the following classes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. class:: HTTPConnection(host[, port[, strict[, timeout]]])
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An :class:`HTTPConnection` instance represents one transaction with an HTTP
|
2008-05-11 08:09:35 -03:00
|
|
|
server. It should be instantiated passing it a host and optional port
|
|
|
|
|
number. If no port number is passed, the port is extracted from the host
|
|
|
|
|
string if it has the form ``host:port``, else the default HTTP port (80) is
|
2008-11-15 18:33:25 -04:00
|
|
|
used. When True, the optional parameter *strict* (which defaults to a false
|
|
|
|
|
value) causes ``BadStatusLine`` to
|
2008-05-11 08:09:35 -03:00
|
|
|
be raised if the status line can't be parsed as a valid HTTP/1.0 or 1.1
|
|
|
|
|
status line. If the optional *timeout* parameter is given, blocking
|
|
|
|
|
operations (like connection attempts) will timeout after that many seconds
|
2008-05-29 13:39:26 -03:00
|
|
|
(if it is not given, the global default timeout setting is used).
|
2007-08-15 11:28:01 -03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the following calls all create instances that connect to the server
|
|
|
|
|
at the same host and port::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> h1 = httplib.HTTPConnection('www.cwi.nl')
|
|
|
|
|
>>> h2 = httplib.HTTPConnection('www.cwi.nl:80')
|
|
|
|
|
>>> h3 = httplib.HTTPConnection('www.cwi.nl', 80)
|
|
|
|
|
>>> h3 = httplib.HTTPConnection('www.cwi.nl', 80, timeout=10)
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. class:: HTTPSConnection(host[, port[, key_file[, cert_file[, strict[, timeout]]]]])
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A subclass of :class:`HTTPConnection` that uses SSL for communication with
|
|
|
|
|
secure servers. Default port is ``443``. *key_file* is the name of a PEM
|
|
|
|
|
formatted file that contains your private key. *cert_file* is a PEM formatted
|
|
|
|
|
certificate chain file.

HTTPConnection Objects
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`HTTPConnection` instances have the following methods:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPConnection.request(method, url[, body[, headers]])
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will send a request to the server using the HTTP request method *method*
|
|
|
|
|
and the selector *url*. If the *body* argument is present, it should be a
|
|
|
|
|
string of data to send after the headers are finished. Alternatively, it may
|
|
|
|
|
be an open file object, in which case the contents of the file is sent; this
|
|
|
|
|
file object should support ``fileno()`` and ``read()`` methods. The header
|
|
|
|
|
Content-Length is automatically set to the correct value. The *headers*
|
|
|
|
|
argument should be a mapping of extra HTTP headers to send with the request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 2.6
|
|
|
|
|
*body* can be a file object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPConnection.getresponse()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should be called after a request is sent to get the response from the server.
|
|
|
|
|
Returns an :class:`HTTPResponse` instance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you must have read the whole response before you can send a new
|
|
|
|
|
request to the server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPConnection.set_debuglevel(level)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the debugging level (the amount of debugging output printed). The default
|
|
|
|
|
debug level is ``0``, meaning no debugging output is printed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPConnection.connect()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Connect to the server specified when the object was created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPConnection.close()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Close the connection to the server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an alternative to using the :meth:`request` method described above, you can
|
|
|
|
|
also send your request step by step, by using the four functions below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPConnection.putrequest(request, selector[, skip_host[, skip_accept_encoding]])
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This should be the first call after the connection to the server has been made.
|
|
|
|
|
It sends a line to the server consisting of the *request* string, the *selector*
|
|
|
|
|
string, and the HTTP version (``HTTP/1.1``). To disable automatic sending of
|
|
|
|
|
``Host:`` or ``Accept-Encoding:`` headers (for example to accept additional
|
|
|
|
|
content encodings), specify *skip_host* or *skip_accept_encoding* with non-False
|
|
|
|
|
values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 2.4
|
|
|
|
|
*skip_accept_encoding* argument added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPConnection.putheader(header, argument[, ...])
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Send an :rfc:`822`\ -style header to the server. It sends a line to the server
|
|
|
|
|
consisting of the header, a colon and a space, and the first argument. If more
|
|
|
|
|
arguments are given, continuation lines are sent, each consisting of a tab and
|
|
|
|
|
an argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPConnection.endheaders()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Send a blank line to the server, signalling the end of the headers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPConnection.send(data)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Send data to the server. This should be used directly only after the
|
|
|
|
|
:meth:`endheaders` method has been called and before :meth:`getresponse` is
|
|
|
|
|
called.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: HTTPResponse.getheader(name[, default])
|

Here is an example session that uses the ``GET`` method::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> import httplib
|
|
|
|
|
>>> conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.python.org")
|
|
|
|
|
>>> conn.request("GET", "/index.html")
|
|
|
|
|
>>> r1 = conn.getresponse()
|
|
|
|
|
>>> print r1.status, r1.reason
|
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
|
>>> data1 = r1.read()
|
|
|
|
|
>>> conn.request("GET", "/parrot.spam")
|
|
|
|
|
>>> r2 = conn.getresponse()
|
|
|
|
|
>>> print r2.status, r2.reason
|
|
|
|
|
404 Not Found
|
