Subrequests for Zope2

Project description

Overview

plone.subrequest provides a mechanism for issuing subrequests under Zope2.

Installation

Plone 4

An entry point is provided so no special installation is required past adding plone.subrequest to your instance’s eggs.

Zope 2.12 without Plone

Load this package’s ZCML in the usual manner.

Zope 2.10

You must install ZPublisherEventsBackport to use this package with Zope 2.10 and load both package’s ZCML. The tests require Zope 2.12 / Python 2.6 so will not run.

Usage

Basic usage

Call subrequest(url), it returns a response object.

>>> from plone.subrequest import subrequest
>>> response = subrequest('/folder1/@@url')

The output of the response is normally written to the response body.

>>> response.body
'http://nohost/folder1'

Be aware that some code may call response.write(data)

>>> response = subrequest('/@@response-write')
>>> response.stdout.getvalue()
'Some data.\nSome more data.\n'

so it’s usually best to retrieve the output with:

>>> result = response.body or response.stdout.getvalue()

Relative paths

Relative paths are resolved relative to the parent request’s location:

>>> request = traverse('/folder1/@@test')
>>> response = subrequest('folder1A/@@url')
>>> response.body
'http://nohost/folder1/folder1A'

This takes account of default view’s url.

>>> request = traverse('/folder1')
>>> request['URL']
'http://nohost/folder1/@@test'
>>> response = subrequest('folder1A/@@url')
>>> response.body
'http://nohost/folder1/folder1A'

Virtual hosting

When virtual hosting is used, absolute paths are traversed from the virtual host root.

>>> request = traverse('/VirtualHostBase/http/example.org:80/folder1/VirtualHostRoot/')
>>> response = subrequest('/folder1A/@@url')
>>> response.body
'http://example.org/folder1A'

Specifying the root

You may also set the root object explicitly

>>> app = layer['app']
>>> response = subrequest('/folder1A/@@url', root=app.folder1)
>>> response.body
'http://nohost/folder1/folder1A'

Error responses

Subrequests may not be found.

>>> response = subrequest('/not-found')
>>> response.status
404

Or might raise an error.

>>> response = subrequest('/@@error')
>>> response.status
500

So check for the expected status.

>>> response = subrequest('/')
>>> response.status
200
