|Version| |Travis| |CodeCov| |Docs|
Installation
------------
``sprockets.mixins.http`` is available on the
`Python Package Index <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sprockets.mixins.http>`_
and can be installed via ``pip``:
.. code-block:: bash

If you would like to use `tornado.curl_httpclient.CurlAsyncHTTPClient`,
you can install `pycurl <https://pycurl.io>`_ with:

Documentation
-------------
https://sprocketsmixinshttp.readthedocs.io
Requirements
------------
- `ietfparse <https://ietfparse.readthedocs.io>`_ >=1.5.1
- `tornado <https://www.tornadoweb.org/>`_ >=5
- `sprockets.mixins.mediatype[msgpack] <https://sprocketsmixinsmedia-type.readthedocs.io/>`_ >=3
Example
-------
This examples demonstrates the most basic usage of ``sprockets.mixins.http``
.. code:: python
from tornado import ioloop, web
from sprockets.mixins import http
class RequestHandler(http.HTTPClientMixin, web.RequestHandler):
async def get(self, *args, **kwargs):
response = await self.http_fetch('https://api.github.com')
if not response.ok:
self.set_status(response.code)
self.write(response.body)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = web.Application([(r'/', RequestHandler)])
app.listen(8000)
ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()
As with Tornado, to use the curl client which has numerous benefits:
.. code:: python
from tornado import httpclient, ioloop, web
from sprockets.mixins import http
httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient.configure(
'tornado.curl_httpclient.CurlAsyncHTTPClient')
class RequestHandler(http.HTTPClientMixin, web.RequestHandler):
async def get(self, *args, **kwargs):
response = await self.http_fetch('https://api.github.com')
if not response.ok:
self.set_status(response.code)
self.write(response.body)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = web.Application([(r'/', RequestHandler)])
app.listen(8000)
ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()
Error Response Body
-------------------
For errors, i.e. a response with HTTP status code in the 400 range...
The HTTPResponse object's body is reduced down to just the error message.
That is this mixin's default behavior.
For a JSON response body with Problem Details (RFC 7807), you may want more
than just the error message. To gain access to the complete, deserialized
response body; a class that uses this mixin can set:
.. code:: python
self.simplify_error_response = False
Environment Variables
---------------------
+------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
| HTTP_MAX_CLIENTS | An optional setting that specifies the maximum number of |
| | simultaneous asynchronous HTTP requests. If not |
| | specified, the default Tornado value of 10 will be used. |
