Use `requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/>`_ to talk HTTP via a UNIX domain socket
Usage
-----
Explicit
++++++++
You can use it by instantiating a special ``Session`` object:
.. code-block:: python
import requests_unixsocket
session = requests_unixsocket.Session()
# Access /path/to/page from /tmp/profilesvc.sock
r = session.get('http+unix://%2Ftmp%2Fprofilesvc.sock/path/to/page')
assert r.status_code == 200
Implicit (monkeypatching)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Monkeypatching allows you to use the functionality in this module, while making
minimal changes to your code. Note that in the above example we had to
instantiate a special ``requests_unixsocket.Session`` object and call the
``get`` method on that object. Calling ``requests.get(url)`` (the easiest way
to use requests and probably very common), would not work. But we can make it
work by doing monkeypatching.
You can monkeypatch globally:
.. code-block:: python
import requests_unixsocket
requests_unixsocket.monkeypatch()
# Access /path/to/page from /tmp/profilesvc.sock
r = requests.get('http+unix://%2Ftmp%2Fprofilesvc.sock/path/to/page')
assert r.status_code == 200
or you can do it temporarily using a context manager:
.. code-block:: python
import requests_unixsocket
with requests_unixsocket.monkeypatch():
# Access /path/to/page from /tmp/profilesvc.sock
r = requests.get('http+unix://%2Ftmp%2Fprofilesvc.sock/path/to/page')
assert r.status_code == 200
