requests-glob 0.3

File transport adapter for Requests

Requests-Glob is a transport adapter for use with the Requests Python library to allow local filesystem access via glob:// URLs.

To use:

import requests
from requests_glob import GlobAdapter

s = requests.Session()
s.mount('glob://', GlobAdapter())

resp = s.get('glob:///glob_expression')

Features

• Will open and read local files

• Might set a Content-Length header

• That’s about it

Also, url can contain query information, such as glob (yes - default, no), glob_include_hidden (no - default, yes), glob_recursive (yes - default, no)

No encoding information is set in the response object, so be careful using Response.text: the chardet library will be used to convert the file to a unicode type and it may not detect what you actually want.

EACCES is converted to a 403 status code, and ENOENT is converted to a 404. All other IOError types are converted to a 400.
