.TH PREQUEST "1" "January 2016" "prequest 1.6+dfsg-1" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
prequest \- Python 2 Pyramid command
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B prequest
\fI\,config_uri path_info \/\fR[\fI\,args/options\/\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Submit a HTTP request to a web application.  This command makes an artifical
request to a web application that uses a PasteDeploy (.ini) configuration file
for the server and application.  Use "prequest config.ini /path" to request
"/path".  Use "prequest \fB\-\-method\fR=\fI\,POST\/\fR config.ini \fI\,/path\/\fP < data" to do a POST
with the given request body.  Use "prequest \fB\-\-method\fR=\fI\,PUT\/\fR config.ini \fI\,/path\/\fP <
data" to do a PUT with the given request body.  Use "prequest \fB\-\-method\fR=\fI\,PATCH\/\fR
config.ini \fI\,/path\/\fP < data" to do a PATCH with the given request body.  Use
"prequest \fB\-\-method\fR=\fI\,OPTIONS\/\fR config.ini /path" to do an OPTIONS request.  Use
"prequest \fB\-\-method\fR=\fI\,PROPFIND\/\fR config.ini /path" to do a PROPFIND request.  If
the path is relative (doesn't begin with "/") it is interpreted as relative to
"/".  The path passed to this script should be URL\-quoted. The path can be
succeeded with a query string (e.g. `/path?a=1&=b2').  The variable
"environ['paste.command_request']" will be set to "True" in the request's WSGI
environment, so your application can distinguish these calls from normal
requests.
