18 class RequestMethods(object):
20 Convenience mixin for classes who implement a :meth:`urlopen` method, such
21 as :class:`~urllib3.connectionpool.HTTPConnectionPool` and
22 :class:`~urllib3.poolmanager.PoolManager`.
24 Provides behavior for making common types of HTTP request methods and
25 decides which type of request field encoding to use.
29 :meth:`.request_encode_url` is for sending requests whose fields are encoded
30 in the URL (such as GET, HEAD, DELETE).
32 :meth:`.request_encode_body` is for sending requests whose fields are
33 encoded in the *body* of the request using multipart or www-form-urlencoded
34 (such as for POST, PUT, PATCH).
36 :meth:`.request` is for making any kind of request, it will look up the
37 appropriate encoding format and use one of the above two methods to make
40 Initializer parameters:
43 Headers to include with all requests, unless other headers are given
47 _encode_url_methods = set(['DELETE', 'GET', 'HEAD', 'OPTIONS'])
49 def __init__(self, headers=None):
50 self.headers = headers or {}
52 def urlopen(self, method, url, body=None, headers=None,
53 encode_multipart=True, multipart_boundary=None,
55 raise NotImplemented("Classes extending RequestMethods must implement "
56 "their own ``urlopen`` method.")
58 def request(self, method, url, fields=None, headers=None, **urlopen_kw):
60 Make a request using :meth:`urlopen` with the appropriate encoding of
61 ``fields`` based on the ``method`` used.
63 This is a convenience method that requires the least amount of manual
64 effort. It can be used in most situations, while still having the option
65 to drop down to more specific methods when necessary, such as
66 :meth:`request_encode_url`, :meth:`request_encode_body`,
67 or even the lowest level :meth:`urlopen`.
69 method = method.upper()
71 if method in self._encode_url_methods:
72 return self.request_encode_url(method, url, fields=fields,
76 return self.request_encode_body(method, url, fields=fields,
80 def request_encode_url(self, method, url, fields=None, **urlopen_kw):
82 Make a request using :meth:`urlopen` with the ``fields`` encoded in
83 the url. This is useful for request methods like GET, HEAD, DELETE, etc.
86 url += '?' + urlencode(fields)
87 return self.urlopen(method, url, **urlopen_kw)
89 def request_encode_body(self, method, url, fields=None, headers=None,
90 encode_multipart=True, multipart_boundary=None,
93 Make a request using :meth:`urlopen` with the ``fields`` encoded in
94 the body. This is useful for request methods like POST, PUT, PATCH, etc.
96 When ``encode_multipart=True`` (default), then
97 :meth:`urllib3.filepost.encode_multipart_formdata` is used to encode the
98 payload with the appropriate content type. Otherwise
99 :meth:`urllib.urlencode` is used with the
100 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' content type.
102 Multipart encoding must be used when posting files, and it's reasonably
103 safe to use it in other times too. However, it may break request signing,
106 Supports an optional ``fields`` parameter of key/value strings AND
107 key/filetuple. A filetuple is a (filename, data, MIME type) tuple where
108 the MIME type is optional. For example: ::
112 'fakefile': ('foofile.txt', 'contents of foofile'),
113 'realfile': ('barfile.txt', open('realfile').read()),
114 'typedfile': ('bazfile.bin', open('bazfile').read(),
116 'nonamefile': 'contents of nonamefile field',
119 When uploading a file, providing a filename (the first parameter of the
120 tuple) is optional but recommended to best mimick behavior of browsers.
122 Note that if ``headers`` are supplied, the 'Content-Type' header will be
123 overwritten because it depends on the dynamic random boundary string
124 which is used to compose the body of the request. The random boundary
125 string can be explicitly set with the ``multipart_boundary`` parameter.
128 body, content_type = encode_multipart_formdata(fields or {},
129 boundary=multipart_boundary)
131 body, content_type = (urlencode(fields or {}),
132 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
135 headers = self.headers
137 headers_ = {'Content-Type': content_type}
138 headers_.update(headers)
