Python based HttpPy for more comfortable requests.

Installation

PyPi

(env)$ pip install HttpPy

Usage

Single Request

Sometimes you may just want to send a single request. To achieve that there are some flags ready to use.

(env)$ python -m HttpPy -t post -u http://127.0.0.1:8000 -b '{"user": "eve", "password": "12345"}'

• -t / --type
  Represents the request verb [ get | post | put | patch | options | delete ] to use.
• -u / --url
  Is the endpoint to reach.
• -b / --body
  Represents the body of the request.

Several Requests

If you need to send several requests, you can use a file as an input.

(env)$ python -m HttpPy -i example.request

• -i / --input
  Is the path to a file that contains the requests especifications.

An example of a post request inside example.request file may be:

## This comment is important to parse correctly the request
POST http://127.0.0.1:8000
Headers
ContentType: application/json
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGuIHN1c2FtZQ==
{
  "data": "data one",
  "data 2": "data two"
}

Extra flags

There are two optional flags that may help you:

• -v / --verbose
  The presence of this flag will indicate that the especifications of requests and a more detailed reponse will be printed in the screen.
• -p / --parallel
  This flag is intented to help with performance and excecution times. Internally indicates that several threads are going to be used for the requests.
• -f / --force
  This flag forces the request to ignore ssl verification.
