NAME¶
prequest - Python 2 Pyramid command
SYNOPSIS¶
prequest config_uri path_info [args/options]
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 --method=POST
config.ini /path < data" to do a POST with the given request
body. Use "prequest --method=PUT config.ini /path
< data" to do a PUT with the given request body. Use "prequest
--method=PATCH config.ini /path < data" to do a
PATCH with the given request body. Use "prequest
--method=OPTIONS config.ini /path" to do an OPTIONS
request. Use "prequest --method=PROPFIND 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.
