WSGI request and response object

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/Pylons/webob.png?branch=master Documentation Status

WebOb provides objects for HTTP requests and responses. Specifically it does this by wrapping the WSGI request environment and response status/headers/app_iter(body).

The request and response objects provide many conveniences for parsing HTTP request and forming HTTP responses. Both objects are read/write: as a result, WebOb is also a nice way to create HTTP requests and parse HTTP responses.

1.5.0b0 (2015-09-06)

Bug Fixes

Features

1.5.0a1 (2015-07-30)

Backwards Incompatibilities

  • Response.set_cookie renamed the only required parameter from “key” to “name”. The code will now still accept “key” as a keyword argument, and will issue a DeprecationWarning until WebOb 1.7.

  • The status attribute of a Response object no longer takes a string like None None and allows that to be set as the status. It now has to at least match the pattern of <integer status code> <explenation of status code>. Invalid status strings will now raise a ValueError.

1.5.0a0 (2015-07-25)

Backwards Incompatibilities

  • Morsel will no longer accept a cookie value that does not meet RFC6265’s cookie-octet specification. Upon calling Morsel.serialize a warning will be issued, in the future this will raise a ValueError, please update your cookie handling code. See https://github.com/Pylons/webob/pull/172

    The cookie-octet specification in RFC6265 states the following characters are valid in a cookie value:

    Hex Range

    Actual Characters

    [0x21 ]

    !

    [0x25-0x2B]

    #$%&'()*+

    [0x2D-0x3A]

    -./0123456789:

    [0x3C-0x5B]

    <=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[

    [0x5D-0x7E]

    ]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~

    RFC6265 suggests using base 64 to serialize data before storing data in a cookie.

    Cookies that meet the RFC6265 standard will no longer be quoted, as this is unnecessary. This is a no-op as far as browsers and cookie storage is concerned.

  • Response.set_cookie now uses the internal make_cookie API, which will issue warnings if cookies are set with invalid bytes. See https://github.com/Pylons/webob/pull/172

Features

  • Add support for some new caching headers, stale-while-revalidate and stale-if-error that can be used by reverse proxies to cache stale responses temporarily if the backend disappears. From RFC5861. See https://github.com/Pylons/webob/pull/189
