What?

Allows to get an HTML, coming from several previous URLs. Sometimes this is needed to get webpages that requires cookies or a HTTP referrer to get a certain page.

Pre-requisites

You will need:

• httplib2

• http://socksipy.sourceforge.net/ (if you want to use a proxy)

To run the test you will also need:

• lxml

Example

No proxy

from html_jumping import HtmlJumping
handler = HtmlJumping()
urls = [
    {
        'url': 'http://pypi.python.org/pypi',
        'method': 'GET'
    },
    {
        'url': 'http://pypi.python.org/pypi',
        'method': 'GET',
        'body': {
            'term': 'html_jumping',
            ':action': 'search',
            'submit': 'search'
        }
    }
]
received_header, received_content = handler.get(urls)

With proxy

Allow you to use a HTTP proxy, you will need to install the socksipy library.

from html_jumping import HtmlJumping
handler = HtmlJumping()
urls = [
    {
        'url': 'http://pypi.python.org/pypi',
        'method': 'GET'
    },
    {
        'url': 'http://pypi.python.org/pypi',
        'method': 'GET',
        'body': {
            'term': 'html_jumping',
            ':action': 'search',
            'submit': 'search'
        }
    }
]
received_header, received_content = handler.get(
    urls,
    proxy_info = {'host': '127.0.0.1', 'port': '8081'}
)

With permanent headers

This will sent in each call the headers ‘Accept-Language’.

from html_jumping import HtmlJumping
handler = HtmlJumping()
urls = [
    {
        'url': 'http://pypi.python.org/pypi',
        'method': 'GET'
    },
    {
        'url': 'http://pypi.python.org/pypi',
        'method': 'GET',
        'body': {
            'term': 'html_jumping',
            ':action': 'search',
            'submit': 'search'
        }
    }
]
received_header, received_content = handler.get(
    urls,
    permanent_headers = {'Accept-Language': 'es, en-cl;q=0.5'}
)
