Example
-------

This examples demonstrates the most basic usage of ``sprockets.mixins.http``

.. code:: python

    from tornado import gen, ioloop, web
    from sprockets.mixins import http


    class RequestHandler(http.HTTPClientMixin, web.RequestHandler):

       @gen.coroutine
       def get(self, *args, **kwargs):
           response = yield self.http_fetch('https://api.github.com')
           if not response.ok:
               self.set_status(response.code)
           self.write(response.body)
           self.finish()


    if __name__ == "__main__":
       app = web.Application([web.url(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 gen, httpclient, ioloop, web
    from sprockets.mixins import http

    httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient.configure(
        'tornado.curl_httpclient.CurlAsyncHTTPClient')


    class RequestHandler(http.HTTPClientMixin, web.RequestHandler):

       @gen.coroutine
       def get(self, *args, **kwargs):
           response = yield self.http_fetch('https://api.github.com')
           if not response.ok:
               self.set_status(response.code)
           self.write(response.body)
           self.finish()


    if __name__ == "__main__":
       app = web.Application([web.url(r'/', RequestHandler)])
       app.listen(8000)
       ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()
