Subrequests for Zope2

Project description

Overview

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

Installation

Plone 4+

This package is included by core Plone, so no special installation is required.

Zope

Load this package’s ZCML in the usual manner.

Usage

Basic usage

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

>>> from plone.subrequest import subrequest
>>> response = subrequest('/folder1/@@url')
>>> response.getBody()
b'http://nohost/folder1'

response.getBody() also works for code that calls response.write(data). This one returns a text/non-byte value.

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

But in this case response.getBody() may only be called once.

>>> response.getBody()
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: I/O operation on closed file

Accessing the response body as a file

Some code may call response.write(data).

>>> response = subrequest('/@@response-write')

In which case you may access response.stdout as file.

>>> response.stdout.seek(0, 0) or 0  # Py2 returns None, Py3 returns new position
0
>>> list(response.stdout)
['Some data.\n', 'Some more data.\n']

You can test whether a file was returned using response._wrote.

>>> response._wrote
1

When you’re done, close the file:

>>> response.stdout.close()

Use response.outputBody() to ensure the body may be accessed as a file.

>>> from plone.subrequest import subrequest
>>> response = subrequest('/folder1/@@url')
>>> response._wrote
>>> response.outputBody()
>>> response._wrote
1
>>> response.stdout.seek(0, 0) or 0  # Py2 returns None, Py3 returns new position
0
>>> list(response.stdout)
['http://nohost/folder1']

Relative paths

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

>>> from plone.subrequest.tests import traverse
>>> request = traverse('/folder1/@@test')
>>> response = subrequest('folder1A/@@url')
>>> response.getBody()
b'http://nohost/folder1/folder1A'

This takes account of default view’s url.

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

Virtual hosting

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

>>> request = traverse('/VirtualHostBase/http/nohost:80/folder1/VirtualHostRoot/')
>>> response = subrequest('/folder1A/@@url')
>>> response.getBody()
b'http://nohost/folder1A'

Specifying the root

You may also set the root object explicitly

>>> app = layer['app']
>>> response = subrequest('/folder1A/@@url', root=app.folder1)
>>> response.getBody()
b'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

Or might raise an error rendered by a custom error view.

>>> response = subrequest('/@@custom-error')
>>> response.status
500
>>> response.body
b'Custom exception occurred: A custom error'

So check for the expected status.

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

Handling subrequests

The parent request is set as PARENT_REQUEST onto subrequests.

Subrequests also provide the plone.subrequest.interfaces.ISubRequest marker interface.

Fixes:

  • When a subrequest modified the DB (or prior to the subrequest the main request), the oids annotated to the requests were doubled with each subsequent subrequest. This resulted in out-of-memory errors when using lots of subrequests, such as it happens on Mosaic based sites with a certain amount of tiles. Fixed by only adding new oids, not already known by parent request. [jensens]
