User Guide for HTTPRequest Script

This script simplifies the process of making HTTP GET, POST, and PUT requests to a server with Basic Authentication. It is structured with reusable classes and functions to handle various API endpoints. This guide provides an overview of the classes, functions, and usage examples for interacting with a server using the requests library. The functions facilitate API calls for common tasks such as fetching data, uploading certificates, and saving configurations.

Classes Overview

1. HTTPRequest

• A base class to handle HTTP requests.
• Attributes:
  • fqdn: Fully Qualified Domain Name for the server.
  • auth: Basic authentication credentials (Base64 encoded).
• Methods:
  • _send_request(self, method, url, data=None, files=None): Sends an HTTP request (GET, POST, PUT) to the server and returns the response.

2. GETRequest(HTTPRequest)

• Inherits from HTTPRequest. Used to send GET requests.
• Method:
  • send(self, url): Sends a GET request to the specified url and returns the response.

3. POSTRequest(HTTPRequest)

• Inherits from HTTPRequest. Used to send POST requests.
• Method:
  • send(self, url, payload): Sends a POST request to the specified url with payload and returns the response.

4. PUTRequest(HTTPRequest)

• Inherits from HTTPRequest. Used to send PUT requests.
• Method:
  • send(self, url, payload, files=None): Sends a PUT request to the specified url with payload and optional files, returns the response.

3. get_tls_contexts_list(fqdn, auth)

   • Sends a GET request to retrieve a list of TLS contexts.
   • Input:
     • fqdn: Server FQDN.
     • auth: Authentication string.
   • Output: List of TLS contexts, or the response object.

4. get_device_certificate(fqdn, auth, tls_ctxt_id)

   • Sends a GET request to retrieve the device certificate for the specified TLS context.
   • Input:
     • fqdn: Server FQDN.
     • auth: Authentication string.
     • tls_ctxt_id: TLS context ID.
   • Output: Device certificate as a string, or the response object.

POST Requests

1. save_configuration(fqdn, auth)
   • Sends a POST request to save the server configuration.
   • Input:
     • fqdn: Server FQDN.

Example Usage

GET Example: Retrieve Alarms

alarms = get_alarms('example.com', 'auth_string')
print(alarms)

POST Example: Save Configuration

response = save_configuration('example.com', 'auth_string')
print(response.status_code)

PUT Example: Upload Root Certificate

response = upload_trusted_root_certificates('example.com', 'auth_string', 'tls_id', 'cert_name', '/path/to/cert.pem')
print(response.text)

Error Handling

• The script prints HTTP errors (e.g., HTTPError, Timeout, ConnectionError) when requests fail.
• In case of JSON decoding errors or unexpected server responses, it prints appropriate messages and handles failures gracefully.
