11.3.1 HTTP Objects

HTTP instances have the following methods:

set_debuglevel (level): Set the debugging level (the amount of debugging output printed). The default debug level is 0, meaning no debugging output is printed.

connect (host[, port]): Connect to the server given by host and port. See the intro for the default port. This should be called directly only if the instance was instantiated without passing a host.

send (data): Send data to the server. This should be used directly only after the endheaders() method has been called and before getreply() has been called.

putrequest (request, selector): This should be the first call after the connection to the server has been made. It sends a line to the server consisting of the request string, the selector string, and the HTTP version (HTTP/1.0).

putheader (header, argument[, ...]): Send an RFC 822 style header to the server. It sends a line to the server consisting of the header, a colon and a space, and the first argument. If more arguments are given, continuation lines are sent, each consisting of a tab and an argument.

endheaders (): Send a blank line to the server, signalling the end of the headers.

getreply (): Complete the request by shutting down the sending end of the socket, read the reply from the server, and return a triple (replycode, message, headers). Here, replycode is the integer reply code from the request (e.g., 200 if the request was handled properly); message is the message string corresponding to the reply code; and headers is an instance of the class mimetools.Message containing the headers received from the server. See the description of the mimetools module.

getfile (): Return a file object from which the data returned by the server can be read, using the read(), readline() or readlines() methods.
